}How can I define env variables in Parcel?
- By creating .env file in repo root directory
- By adding env variable to package.json start and/or build script
{
"name": "my-project",
"source": "src/index.html",
"scripts": {
"start": "MY_ENV_VARIABLE=foo parcel",
"build": "MY_ENV_VARIABLE=bar parcel build"
},
"devDependencies": {
"parcel": "latest"
}
}- For more advance, dynamic variables you can write JS scripts.
package.json
"build": "node ./my-customs-script.js",my-customs-script.js
process.env.MY_ENV_VARIABLE = Date.now().toString()
execSync('yarn parcel build', { stdio: 'inherit' })Troubleshooting
- Run clear task if it's defined in package.json or run
rm -rf build/ .parcel-cachecommand to clean up Parcel cache.
