## The problem
|
|
|
|
Most Windows command prompts will choke when you set environment variables with
|
|
`NODE_ENV=production` like that. (The exception is [Bash on Windows][win-bash],
|
|
which uses native Bash.) Similarly, there's a difference in how windows and
|
|
POSIX commands utilize environment variables. With POSIX, you use: `$ENV_VAR`
|
|
and on windows you use `%ENV_VAR%`.
|
|
|
|
## This solution
|
|
|
|
`cross-env` makes it so you can have a single command without worrying about
|
|
setting or using the environment variable properly for the platform. Just set it
|
|
like you would if it's running on a POSIX system, and `cross-env` will take care
|
|
of setting it properly.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
This module is distributed via [npm][npm] which is bundled with [node][node] and
|
|
should be installed as one of your project's `devDependencies`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm install --save-dev cross-env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> WARNING! Make sure that when you're installing packages that you spell things
|
|
> correctly to avoid [mistakenly installing malware][malware]
|
|
|
|
> NOTE : Version 7 of cross-env only supports Node.js 10 and higher, to use it on
|
|
> Node.js 8 or lower install version 6 `npm install --save-dev cross-env@6`
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
I use this in my npm scripts:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"build": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production webpack --config build/webpack.config.js"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ultimately, the command that is executed (using [`cross-spawn`][cross-spawn])
|
|
is:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
webpack --config build/webpack.config.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `NODE_ENV` environment variable will be set by `cross-env`
|
|
|
|
You can also split a command into several ones, or separate the environment
|
|
variables declaration from the actual command execution. You can do it this way:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"parentScript": "cross-env GREET=\"Joe\" npm run childScript",
|
|
"childScript": "cross-env-shell \"echo Hello $GREET\""
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where `childScript` holds the actual command to execute and `parentScript` sets
|
|
the environment variables to use. Then instead of run the childScript you run
|
|
the parent. This is quite useful for launching the same command with different
|
|
env variables or when the environment variables are too long to have everything
|
|
in one line. It also means that you can use `$GREET` env var syntax even on
|
|
Windows which would usually require it to be `%GREET%`.
|
|
|
|
If you precede a dollar sign with an odd number of backslashes the expression
|
|
statement will not be replaced. Note that this means backslashes after the JSON
|
|
string escaping took place. `"FOO=\\$BAR"` will not be replaced.
|
|
`"FOO=\\\\$BAR"` will be replaced though.
|
|
|
|
Lastly, if you want to pass a JSON string (e.g., when using [ts-loader]), you
|
|
can do as follows:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"test": "cross-env TS_NODE_COMPILER_OPTIONS={\\\"module\\\":\\\"commonjs\\\"} node some_file.test.ts"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Pay special attention to the **triple backslash** `(\\\)` **before** the
|
|
**double quotes** `(")` and the **absence** of **single quotes** `(')`. Both of
|
|
these conditions have to be met in order to work both on Windows and UNIX.
|
|
|
|
## `cross-env` vs `cross-env-shell`
|
|
|
|
The `cross-env` module exposes two bins: `cross-env` and `cross-env-shell`. The
|
|
first one executes commands using [`cross-spawn`][cross-spawn], while the second
|
|
one uses the `shell` option from Node's `spawn`.
|
|
|
|
The main use case for `cross-env-shell` is when you need an environment variable
|
|
to be set across an entire inline shell script, rather than just one command.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to have the environment variable apply to several
|
|
commands in series then you will need to wrap those in quotes and use
|
|
`cross-env-shell` instead of `cross-env`.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"scripts": {
|
|
"greet": "cross-env-shell GREETING=Hi NAME=Joe \"echo $GREETING && echo $NAME\""
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The rule of thumb is: if you want to pass to `cross-env` a command that contains
|
|
special shell characters _that you want interpreted_, then use
|
|
`cross-env-shell`. Otherwise stick to `cross-env`.
|
|
|
|
On Windows you need to use `cross-env-shell`, if you want to handle
|
|
[signal events](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_signal_events)
|
|
inside of your program. A common case for that is when you want to capture a
|
|
`SIGINT` event invoked by pressing `Ctrl + C` on the command-line interface.
|
|
|
|
## Windows Issues
|
|
|
|
Please note that `npm` uses `cmd` by default and that doesn't support command
|
|
substitution, so if you want to leverage that, then you need to update your
|
|
`.npmrc` to set the `script-shell` to powershell.

## Inspiration
|
|
|
|
I originally created this to solve a problem I was having with my npm scripts in
|
|
[angular-formly][angular-formly]. This made contributing to the project much
|
|
easier for Windows users.
|
|
|
|
## Other Solutions
|
|
|
|
- [`env-cmd`](https://github.com/toddbluhm/env-cmd) - Reads environment
|
|
variables from a file instead
|
|
- [`@naholyr/cross-env`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@naholyr/cross-env) -
|
|
`cross-env` with support for setting default values
