Setting Up ENV Variables

Now that we have our database setup we need to configure the bot to use it. To do this we will use a .env file. This file will contain all of our environment variables that the bot will use. To create the .env file we can do the following.

Replace the values with your own.

Using Prisma

We use Prisma to manage our database. To setup Prisma we will do the following.

  1. Click the "Startup" tab.
  2. Enable "DB Push".
