How can I use environment variables in lambda functions?

In my Workspace Settings I created a env called "apiKey".How can I use it in the code of my Lambda Function? If I try to log it or use it its always undefined. In the docs it says u can use it everywhere. I also tried $var.apikey and $apiKey.
😒plz help

ok i figured it out…

In the "Function Stack" I need to use "Get Environment Variables" before my lambda.

Notice how I defined "return as envs".

In the "Lambda Function"´s code I can then simply use the $var keyword.

//Like so…
const { apiKey } = $var.envs;
console.log(`myApiKey: ${apiKey}`);
