Environment Variables

The project relies on environment variables stored in a .env.local file located at the root of the figpro directory to manage configurations. Ensure that essential variables such as database connection strings, API keys, or any other sensitive information are properly set up.

NEXT_PUBLIC_LIVEBLOCKS_PUBLIC_KEY = "*YOUR LIVEBLOCKS API PUBLIC KEY*"

Be sure to replace *YOUR LIVEBLOCKS API PUBLIC KEY* with your actual LiveBlocks API public key to enable proper integration.

Note: Environment variables containing sensitive information like API keys, database credentials, or any other secrets should not be committed to version control. Ensure that the .env files are included in your project's .gitignore file to prevent accidental exposure of sensitive data.
