Read up the information on “Adding Environment Variables” in Author’s Guide.

Here is an example of a project “Integrating Firebase with React” that we set up on Educative:

RUN cd /usr/local/educative/ && \
   git clone https://github.com/the-road-to-react-with-firebase/react-firebase-authentication.git && \
   cd react-firebase-authentication && \
   npm install
