Hello thanks for this but I am a bit confused on how to make the env automatically change if in production or development, i don't want to always be changing the value.

How to do so ? require("custom-env").env("development"); // change based on current environment as cant do an if check since its at the top of file.

Thanks.

Using a environment file name .env.development

1. Firstly set your require to below - Removing development and adding true (boolean). require("custom-env").env(true);

2. Set NODE_ENV to development. e.g. set NODE_ENV=development in your package.json
