## 🔐 Environment Configuration

### Environment Files Setup

1. **Create Environment Files Structure**
```bash
# Create environment files for different stages
cp .env.example .env.local
cp .env.example .env.development
cp .env.example .env.production
```

2. **Environment Templates**

Create `.env.example` (template file, safe to commit):
```bash
# App Configuration
VITE_APP_NAME="Certificate Generator"
VITE_APP_ENV="development"
VITE_APP_URL="http://localhost:5173"

# Firebase Configuration
VITE_FIREBASE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
VITE_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN="your-auth-domain"
VITE_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID="your-project-id"
VITE_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET="your-storage-bucket"
VITE_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID="your-sender-id"
VITE_FIREBASE_APP_ID="your-app-id"

# Feature Flags
VITE_ENABLE_ANALYTICS=false
VITE_ENABLE_DARK_MODE=true
```

3. **Security Best Practices**

```bash
# Add environment files to .gitignore
.env
.env.local
.env.development
.env.production
.env.staging
.env*.local

# Keep only .env.example in version control
```

4. **Environment Setup Guide**

For local development:
```bash
# 1. Copy the example environment file
cp .env.example .env.local

# 2. Edit .env.local with your secure credentials
nano .env.local

# 3. Verify environment file is ignored by git
git check-ignore .env.local
```

### 🔒 Security Notes

- Never commit real API keys or sensitive credentials to version control
- Use different API keys for development and production
- Rotate API keys periodically
- Use environment-specific Firebase projects
- Enable IP restrictions where possible
- Monitor API usage and set up alerts

### 📝 Environment Variables Usage

```javascript
// Example of safe environment variable usage
const firebaseConfig = {
apiKey: import.meta.env.VITE_FIREBASE_API_KEY,
authDomain: import.meta.env.VITE_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN,
// ... other config
};

// Validate environment variables at startup
const requiredEnvVars = [
'VITE_FIREBASE_API_KEY',
'VITE_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN',
// ... other required vars
];

requiredEnvVars.forEach(envVar => {
if (!import.meta.env[envVar]) {
throw new Error(`Missing required environment variable: ${envVar}`);
}
});
```

### 🌍 Environment-Specific Configurations

```bash
# Development (.env.development)
VITE_APP_ENV="development"
VITE_API_URL="http://localhost:5173"
VITE_ENABLE_ANALYTICS=false

# Production (.env.production)
VITE_APP_ENV="production"
VITE_API_URL="https://your-production-url.com"
VITE_ENABLE_ANALYTICS=true

# Staging (.env.staging)
VITE_APP_ENV="staging"
VITE_API_URL="https://staging.your-production-url.com"
VITE_ENABLE_ANALYTICS=true
```

### 🚀 CI/CD Configuration

```yaml
# Example GitHub Actions environment setup
name: Build and Deploy
env:
VITE_FIREBASE_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.FIREBASE_API_KEY }}
VITE_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN: ${{ secrets.FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN }}
# ... other secrets
```
