This won't work as written. The point being made above is:

For this to work, you must have a fallback value (which can just be an empty string) defined in your nuxt.config.

We're trying to avoid the situation where someone thinks that just because they have apiSecret: process.env.NUXT_API_SECRET defined in the config, that this will therefore means it gets overriden in production. (It won't work unless NUXT_API_SECRET is defined at build-time.

Instead, it must be at least: apiSecret: process.env.NUXT_API_SECRET || ''.

We also want to make it clear that the name of the environment variable is determined by the key within runtimeConfig - e.g. apiSecret becaomes NUXT_API_SECRET rather than by the environment variable passed as the default variable.

Any thoughts about how to make the above clearer in the example would be welcome.

Any thoughts about how to make the above clearer in the example would be welcome.

We might use comments in the docs after the value: (example)

var: ''// Can be overridden by NUXT_APP_VAR environment variable

Let's go with @pi0's suggestion, which I think is clearer.
