Opentable helper for setting the node_env.
Hierarchy as follows:
- NODE_ENV
- /etc/node_env.json ( file with the following contents
{ "env": "myenv" }) - specified fallback (e.g. local or dev)
Motivation: Some of the wrappers and up-scripts we are using are a PITA to thread environment variables through.
installation:
npm install ot-node-env
usage:
require('ot-node-env').env();
console.log(process.env.NODE_ENV);
// or alternatively
require('ot-node-env').env('/path/to/file.json')
// or
require('ot-node-env').env('/path/to/file.json', 'dev');
