How to read environment variables setting from Node.js?

Dung Do Tien Jul 07 2021 189

I have a small project with Node.js. I wrote some code as below and I want to it only execute  if the current environment is the production mode.

var fs = require('fs');

if(check environment is production mode){ // I want to check environment here
    var rs = fs.createReadStream('./demofile.txt');
    rs.on('open', function () {
      console.log('The file is open');
    });
}

My Nodejs version is v12.18.3

Thanks for any suggestions.

    The process core module of Node.js provides the env property that hosts all the environment variables that were set at the moment the process was started.

    process.env.NODE_ENV

    NODE_ENV is an environment  variable and it's set to default to development

    You can set the value to other mode (value)

    You can do as below:

    if (process.env.NODE_ENV == "production") {
  // Your code here
} 

    I hope it works for you.

    The process.env property returns an object containing the user environment. 

    For example, I create NODE_EVN with value production as below:

    $ node -e 'process.env.NODE_ENV = "production"'

    And you can write log of that variable as below:

    var mode = process.env.NODE_ENV;
if (mode == "production") {
  // Your code here
} 

     I hope it works for you.
