I'm in a project where there's the test environment, and the production environment.
When I'm developing in test, I use a few different urls for this. I use some amazon services, which are different from production urls.
However, it is very annoying to get manually, changing the urls, I would like to know if there is any good practice to manage this.
You can check in the application what the environment is, whether you are in production or development.
With the expression it would look something like this:
var app = express();
if (app.get('env') === 'production') {
// setar variáveis de produção
} else {
// setar variáveis de desenvolvimento
}
In native Node.js it would be:
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
// setar variáveis de produção
} else {
// setar variáveis de desenvolvimento
}
