Modes

Both the FastAPI backend (src/api) and web frontend (web) read configuration dotenv files from the modes directory. There are currently two modes specified - development and production. More modes (e.g. for staging deployments) can be added.

There are two files for each mode - .env.[mode] and .env.[mode].local. The .local files are ignored in .gitignore, and are suitable for storing secrets such as API keys and passwords.

For both web frontend and FastAPI backend, an explicitly set environment variable will override values in dotenv files.

Web frontend: Vite has been configured to read from modes directory - see web/vite.config.ts. Read more at the Vite env variables page.

FastAPI backend: See src/config.py and pydantic-settings page.
