A simple library to determine whether a react app is under development or production environment
The library provides a single function to determine the environment under which a react app is started. The function returns true in case of react development server, false in case of built application.
Tested with create-react-app.
npm i react-is-dev
import isDev from 'react-is-dev';
isDev is a simple function returning Boolean value and accepting your React instance as a parameter.
So, to determine whether your app is under development or production enviroment, use:
import React from 'react';
...
import isDev from 'react-is-dev';
...
...
const ifDevEnv = isDev(React); // true if development mode, false if production
