Set environment variable for build in Netlify

.get(`http://api-ur

If you're using Nuxt JS there is a more "straight forward" approach.

Just edit the nuxt.config.js like so:

module.exports = {
  env: {
    GOOGLE_API_KEY: process.env.GOOGLE_API_KEY

  },
  // ...

Then add the GOOGLE_API_KEY to Netlify through the build environment variables as usual.
