nodeenv

nodeenv enables tests to control the NODE_ENV variable.

Installation

$ npm install nodeenv

Quick start

To use nodeenv you need to integrate it to your unit-tests using the require function.

var nodeenv = require('nodeenv');

Then, you can call the nodeenv function and specify the value for NODE_ENV you would like to use as well as a callback that contains the code that shall be run in the given environment.

nodeenv('dev', function () {
  // ...
});

Once the callback returns, the previous value of NODE_ENV is automatically restored.

Running the tests

nodeenv has been developed using TDD. To run the tests, go to the folder where you have installed nodeenv to and run npm test. You need to have mocha installed.

$ npm test

Additionally, this module can be built using Grunt. Besides running the tests, Grunt also analyses the code using JSHint. To run Grunt, go to the folder where you have installed nodeenv and run grunt. You need to have grunt-cli installed.

$ grunt
