SvelteKit 'Framework Env Vars' use VITE_ and are therefore not PUBLIC_

[amyegan]

Hi @jeroenvdv. The VITE_ prefix is used for the original version of SvelteKit (v0), but recent versions work a bit differently. You can access deployment-specific environment variables from $env/static/private. An example of this is outlined in the SvelteKit docs: Vercel • Docs • Svelte

How to access `VERCEL_URL` env var client-side in a SvelteKit app?

I checked with the Svelte team and they confirmed that the SvelteKit docs have it right. I’ve opened a ticket to get the Vercel environment variable docs updated to avoid confusion. Thanks for letting us know about it!
