How to use env vars with quotes in dokku

[cesarvarela]

HI, I'm posting this here, because the question in SO got no answers yet:

I'm having trouble getting a create-react-app based application to correctly load environment variables containing double quotes:

First the dokku config shows this:

    dokku config admin
    =====> admin config vars
    REACT_APP_API:           "https://example.com"
    dokku@DokkuVM:~$ 

and my fetch calls look like this:

fetch(`${process.env.REACT_APP_API}/api/v1/whatever`)

which webpack compiles to (and of course does not work):

fetch(("\"https://example.com\"") + '/api/v1/whatever')

A similar setup is working locally, in my .env file I have:

REACT_APP_API="http://example.com"

Just not using quotes at all worked, closing this.
