Environments

Set the environment

Create an environment variable on your machine called GLAD_ENV OR NODE_ENV.

Glad will first check GLAD_ENV. If it does not exist, it will set GLAD_ENV to the value of NODE_ENV. After that, Glad will only take GLAD_ENV into account. Glad will keep GLAD_ENV and NODE_ENV in sync for the process. for example if you set GLAD_ENV it will set NODE_ENV to GLAD_ENV and vice versa. If you have not set either, it sets both to development.

Alternatively, you can set/override the environment variable by... GLAD_ENV=production glad s or GLAD_ENV=production node index.js

However, this is less than desirable, and the preferred way would be to set the environment variable on the machine.
