Set Node.js Environment Variable (NODE_ENV) in iisnode to Production/Development/Test
Problem
How do we tell iisnode to run our Node.js application environment in production/development/test?
We have successfully gotten our Node.js app running with iisnode but process.env.NODE_ENV
is coming out as 'undefined'.
At the moment, our web.config file is written this way:
Solution
Joachim is right above that adding
to web.config allows control over the NODE_ENV value. Another way is to add the iisnode.yml
file next to your web.config, and in there spcify the NODE_ENV value as node_env: production
. See other settings you can use in iisnode.yml at https://github.com/tjanczuk/iisnode/blob/master/src/samples/configuration/iisnode.yml
