In this video, I dive into addressing an interesting error related to environment variables in our Glowing-Telegram project. We explore issues with the Twitch user ID being misinterpreted as a number instead of a string and how this impacts our API setup and configuration with React-Admin. I also discuss possible ways to solve this problem, such as changing data type handling within our application and leveraging the figment library to manage environment variable content correctly.

🔹 Main Points Covered:
1. *Error Investigation:* We start by troubleshooting why the Twitch user ID isn't being accepted and how its type (number vs string) causes issues.
2. *API Design Considerations:* Discussing best practices in API design, particularly in making values non-obvious to prevent misuse as different data types.
3. *Use of the Figment Library:* Exploring functions and macros in figment to handle type mismatches in environment variables.
4. *Fixing the Environment Variable Issue:* Examining different solutions, including quoting environment variables and ensuring they are interpreted correctly by the app.
5. *Updating and Testing Configurations:* Walking through the process of modifying and testing our configuration to ensure seamless integration and functionality.
