How can we hide the API key using environment variables on client side. Any idea? Do we need to code a server to do this?

    The most common way to hide API keys would be to do it as a fullstack app with environment variables off-client. For the Mapbox API key however, you can just restrict its URL to where you host the page so that others cant use it even if they see it.

    @skanthanvijay Thanks a lot! So fullstack is the common way to go for such apps.
