Description

Resolves #2 - Adds a comprehensive .env.example file to the backend directory to provide clear guidance on required environment variables for local development setup.

Changes

  • Created .env.example file with placeholder values for all required configurations
  • Includes sections for server, database, and OpenAI
  • Provides secure placeholder values instead of actual credentials

Environment Variables Included:

  • Server configuration (PORT, NODE_ENV, CORS_ORIGIN, MAX_REQUEST_SIZE)
  • Database connection (DATABASE_URL)
  • OpenAI configuration (OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENAI_MODEL)

Impact

  • Makes onboarding easier for new contributors
  • Documents all required environment variables in one place
  • Maintains security best practices
  • Follows standard project configuration patterns

Testing

  1. Copy .env.example to .env
  2. Replace placeholder values with actual credentials
  3. Verify application starts without environment-related errors
