But I played with it using your article and realised that backend has to be set up first. Also realised that the backend configuration does not accept variables and has to be constants that exist

Yeah, exactly. Maybe in future they'll fix this DX issue of getting setup. But as you say the backend MUST be hardcoded (without some hacking) and therefore it must be created as a two step process where the first step is running on local (or some other backend other than the one you're configuring). It's a shame really... I imagine at some point this will get addressed. Glad you were able to follow through the tutorial though! At least the explanation wasn't terrible ! 😂

Ah yeah hope that gets addressed at some point. Great tutorial and it was quite clear :)
