          NODE_ENV=DEVELOPMENT
          DB_HOST=localhost
          DB_USER=root
          DB_PASSWORD=password
          DB_NAME=test

              
           db.js file


           const util = require("util");
           const mysql = require("mysql2");

           const pool = mysql.createPool({
           host: process.env.DB_HOST,
           user: process.env.DB_USER,
           password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD,
           database : process.env.DB_NAME,
           uri: process.env.DB,
           waitForConnections: true,
           connectionLimit: 10,
           queueLimit: 2,
            });
