I am currently using Algolia for my search engine inside a Laravel application, so whenever a record is created it is also sent to the Agolia database. Of course I want to separate my data in the Algolia database with a testset for local development and a production set for the live website. I have defined which indices of my Algolia database are being used in a JavaScript file.

Now I am wondering how do I react accordingly to my APP\_ENV variable to change it depending on my current environment? Obviously I need to put stuff into an `if` statement in my JavaScript but how do I make my javascript access the .env variables properly?

Hopefully somebody can help me out.

Cheers.
