## `NODE_ENV`
## Required Configuration Variables
Can be one of `production` or `development`. All production deployments should use `production`. Defaults to `production` when ran with
`npm run start` and `development` when run with `npm run start:development`.

The shared secret to use to sign JSON Web Tokens (JWT) with the selected signing
algorithm. (Default: `keyboard cat`)
## `SIGNING_SECRET`
Note: While there is a default for this so development can be simplified, Coral
will throw a runtime error in the event it's started with `NODE_ENV=production`
and the `SIGNING_SECRET="keyboard cat"` to prevent insecure installations. This
_must_ be set in production to something long and secure. You can use `openssl`
to help with that:

### `DISABLE_LIVE_UPDATES`
When `true`, disables subscriptions for the comment stream for all stories across all tenants (Default `false`)

You can set the class name of the `<body>` tag inside the embed by using the `bodyClassName` parameter when calling `Coral.createStreamEmbed`:
```js
Coral.createStreamEmbed({
bodyClassName: "pink",
});
Coral.createStreamEmbed({
bodyClassName: "pink"

```
This will allow your styles to include variations:
```css
.pink button.coral {

.pink button.coral {

### Reaction styling
As of Coral 6.3.0, Coral has support for styling based on the number of
reactions that a given comment has received. It does so via the:
```sh
.coral-reacted-{{ n }}
```
Where `{{ n }}` is the number of reactions the comment has received. You can
invert this when creating CSS to allow you to highlight comments that have at
least `{{ n }}` reactions. For example, if you wanted to add a coral color to
comments with at least 3 reactions, you could write:
```css
.coral-comment .coral-indent {
background-color: coral;
}
.coral-reacted-0 .coral-indent,
.coral-reacted-1 .coral-indent,
.coral-reacted-2 .coral-indent {
background-color: transparent;
}
