Hi @kora. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it appears that you're encountering an issue with Stripe integration in a Nuxt application, specifically in a production environment. Let's address this problem:
The error you're experiencing is likely related to how you're accessing the Stripe secret key in your production environment. In Nuxt, environment variables and runtime configuration work differently compared to development mode. Here are some key points to consider:
1. Runtime Config: Nuxt uses a
runtimeConfig
option in the nuxt.config.ts
file to expose configuration and secrets within your application. This is the recommended way to handle sensitive information like API keys.
2. Environment Variables: In production, your .env
file is not automatically read. You need to ensure that your environment variables are properly set in your production environment.
To resolve this issue, try the following steps:
1. Update your nuxt.config.ts
file to include the Stripe secret key in the runtimeConfig
:
2. In your production environment, set the environment variable NUXT_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
with your Stripe secret key.
3. Update your Stripe initialization code to use the runtime config:
By following these steps, you should be able to properly access your Stripe secret key in production.
For more detailed information on runtime configuration in Nuxt, you can refer to the Nuxt Runtime Config documentation.
If you're using Docker for deployment, make sure to pass the environment variable to your container as explained in this Stack Overflow answer.
Remember, never expose your Stripe secret key on the client side. Always keep it server-side only.
