What is @glimmer/env?
@glimmer/env is a utility package designed for use with Glimmer.js, a UI component library. It provides environment-specific utilities that help in determining the current environment (like development or production) and conditionally executing code based on that environment.
What are @glimmer/env's main functionalities?
isDevelopment
The `isDevelopment` function checks if the current environment is set to development. This is useful for running development-specific code.
const { isDevelopment } = require('@glimmer/env');
if (isDevelopment()) {
console.log('This is a development environment');
}
isProduction
The `isProduction` function checks if the current environment is set to production. This is useful for running production-specific code.
const { isProduction } = require('@glimmer/env');
if (isProduction()) {
console.log('This is a production environment');
}
isTesting
The `isTesting` function checks if the current environment is set to testing. This is useful for running testing-specific code.
const { isTesting } = require('@glimmer/env');
if (isTesting()) {
console.log('This is a testing environment');
}
Other packages similar to @glimmer/env
env-var
The `env-var` package is a utility for accessing environment variables in Node.js. It provides a more general-purpose approach to environment management compared to @glimmer/env, which is specifically tailored for Glimmer.js.
dotenv
The `dotenv` package loads environment variables from a `.env` file into `process.env`. While it doesn't provide the same environment-checking utilities as @glimmer/env, it is widely used for managing environment variables in Node.js applications.
cross-env
The `cross-env` package allows you to set environment variables across different platforms. It is more focused on cross-platform compatibility for setting environment variables, whereas @glimmer/env is focused on checking the environment within a Glimmer.js context.
