[HUGO]: How to use variables from .env

The initial task you need to accomplish on Hugo is how to add variables from .env to JavaScript when building the site using hugo server or hugo --gc --minify after deploying on Netlify.
And what I understand after researching for this:

• touch .env file and add variables with names that start with HUGO_PARAMS_ as required read

• Add to config.toml
  

[security]
  enableInlineShortcodes = false
  [security.funcs]
    getenv = ['^HUGO_']

• Add to Netlify Deploy Environment variables from .env

• Add to \layouts_default\baseof.html something like this
  

<script>
const apiKey = "{{ getenv "HUGO_PARAMS_FIREBASE_API_KEY" }}";
//console.log('apiKey', apiKey);
</script>

• Deploy that That's all, it will be a success.

To run it locally, you will need to write all the variables in the following format:

env HUGO_TITLE="Some Title" hugo server

(I couldn't find any other way, and it's terribly inconvenient)
