Let's add an environment variable as a configuration option.
Create a `.env` file in the root of your project directory, and store the variable `MESSAGE_STYLE=uppercase` in it. Then, in the GET `/json` route handler that you created in the last challenge, transform the response object’s message to uppercase if `process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE` equals `uppercase`. The response object should become `{"message": "HELLO JSON"}`.
Create a `.env` file in the root of your project directory, and store the variable `MESSAGE_STYLE=uppercase` in it.
Then, in the `/json` GET route handler you created in the last challenge, transform the response object's message to uppercase if `process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE` equals `uppercase`. The response object should either be `{"message": "Hello json"}` or `{"message": "HELLO JSON"}`, depending on the `MESSAGE_STYLE` value.
**Note:** If you are using Replit, you cannot create a `.env` file. Instead, use the built-in <dfn>SECRETS</dfn> tab to add the variable.
