Setup Environment Variables for API Key

Mac

Update the development environment with your SENDGRID_API_KEY (more info here), for example:

echo -e "export SENDGRID_API_KEY='YOUR_API_KEY'\nexport MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER='YOUR_MAIL_ID'" > sendgrid.env > sendgrid.env
echo "sendgrid.env" >> .gitignore
source ./sendgrid.env

SendGrid also supports local environment file .env. Copy or rename .env_sample into .env and update SENDGRID_API_KEY with your key.

Windows

Temporarily set the environment variable(accessible only during the current cli session):

set SENDGRID_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
set MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER=YOUR_MAIL_ID

Permanently set the environment variable(accessible in all subsequent cli sessions):

setx SENDGRID_API_KEY "YOUR_API_KEY"
setx MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER "YOUR_MAIL_ID"
