ot-node-env

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');
