So, I have a Nuxt 3 application where i make requests to an API through fetch.To facilitate maintenance, it's good that all paths are called dynamically from some variable or file, in case the API changes address. So, is there any way to define the path of requests in some file or database, that it's possible to change them after the build, in case the API changes address?
I defined all request addresses in an .env file, similar to this:
API_BASE_URL = http://adress:port/routes/base/
API_POST = http://adress:port/routes/post
API_GET_ITENS = http://adress:port/routes/get/
(etc)
That way, if the API is deployed on a different machine, I don't need to change all fetchs in code, just changing the value of the corresponding variable in .env. This works fine in the development environment.
However, when deploying the application it's necessary to build the project through npm build command, which generates a folder called .output with the project composed of .mjs files.
I didn't find any .env files in the built project. Apparently, it is not possible to change the environment variables after the build, being necessary to change before and build the project again.
I was expecting that after the build there would still be a file with the routes that could be changed, because after hand the system, the customer can change the API address without having to build and deploy the front again.
