Differen ENV file for production and development in Ionic Vue
In Ionic Vue, you can have different `.env` files for production and development environments. Here's how you can achieve this:

**Step 1: Create multiple `.env` files**

Create two separate `.env` files in the root of your project:

* `.env.development`
* `.env.production`

Each file should contain environment-specific variables, such as API endpoints, database connections, or other settings that differ between environments.

**Step 2: Configure Ionic Vue to use the correct `.env` file**

In your `ionic.config.js` file, add the following configuration:
```javascript
module.exports = {
  //... other configurations...
  env: {
    files: {
      development: './.env.development',
      production: './.env.production',
    },
  },
};
```
This tells Ionic Vue to use the `.env.development` file when running in development mode and the `.env.production` file when running in production mode.

**Step 3: Update your `vue.config.js` file (optional)**

If you're using a `vue.config.js` file, you might need to update it to include the environment variables. Add the following code:
```javascript
module.exports = {
  //... other configurations...
  configureWebpack: {
    plugins: [
      new webpack.DefinePlugin({
        'process.env': require('dotenv').config({
          path: `./.env.${process.env.IONIC_ENV}`,
        }).parsed,
     
The main difference between an ENV file for production and development in Ionic Vue is the content of the .env file. For production, the .env file should include the production environment variables such as the database credentials, while for development, the .env file should include the development environment variables such as the API keys. Additionally, for production, the .env file should be stored in a secure location such as a cloud server, while for development, the .env file can be stored in the root of the project.
