Base URL setup

Base URL Setup for Local and Production Environments

This guide walks you through setting up baseURL for local development and production in a project that uses Vue 3 with Vite on the frontend and Node.js on the backend.

1. .env File (Frontend)

Create a .env file at the root of your project (same level as vite.config.js) and add the following:

BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000

✅ Make sure .env is included in .gitignore.

2. Handling Base URL in Vercel (Production)

In Vercel, you can configure the production base URL via Environment Variables in the Vercel dashboard:

• Go to the Vercel project dashboard.
• Navigate to Settings > Environment Variables.
• Add a new variable:
  • Key: BASE_URL
  • Value: https://audemy.org/
• Make sure to redeploy the application after adding the variable.
