A clever .env.

Find it on npm!

It takes an .env file that looks like this:

portDatabase=55555
serviceApi="jumble-of-letters-and-numbers"

dev-api="localhost"
prod-api="api.domain.tld"

dev-app="localhost"
prod-app="app.domain.tld"

dev-marketing="localhost"
prod-marketing="domain.tld"

And transforms it into an object that looks like this:

{
  portDatabase: "55555",
  serviceApi: "jumble-of-letters-and-numbers",
  dev: {
    api: "localhost",
    app: "localhost",
    marketing: "localhost"
  },
  prod: {
    api: "api.domain.tld",
    app: "app.domain.tld",
    marketing: "domain.tld"
  }
}

This makes it easier to swap between development and production variables in your code. Example:

return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  request({
    method: "POST",
    url: process.env.NODE_ENV === "development" ? env.dev.api : env.prod.api, // BOOM 
    body: {},
    json: true
  }).then(body => {
    if (!body) return reject(body);
    resolve(body);
  }).catch(error => {
    resolve(error);
  });
});
