Most Windows command prompts will choke when you set environment variables with
NODE_ENV=production
like that. (The exception is Bash on Windows,
which uses native Bash.) Similarly, there's a difference in how windows and
POSIX commands utilize environment variables. With POSIX, you use: $ENV_VAR
and on windows you use %ENV_VAR%
.
cross-env
makes it so you can have a single command without worrying about
setting or using the environment variable properly for the platform. Just set it
like you would if it's running on a POSIX system, and cross-env
will take care
of setting it properly.
This module is distributed via npm which is bundled with node and
should be installed as one of your project's devDependencies
:
npm install --save-dev cross-env
WARNING! Make sure that when you're installing packages that you spell things correctly to avoid mistakenly installing malware
I use this in my npm scripts:
{
"scripts": {
"build": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production webpack --config build/webpack.config.js"
}
}
Ultimately, the command that is executed (using cross-spawn
)
is:
webpack --config build/webpack.config.js
The NODE_ENV
environment variable will be set by cross-env
You can also split a command into several ones, or separate the environment variables declaration from the actual command execution. You can do it this way:
{
"scripts": {
"parentScript": "cross-env GREET=\"Joe\" npm run childScript",
"childScript": "cross-env-shell \"echo Hello $GREET\""
}
}
Where childScript
holds the actual command to execute and parentScript
sets
the environment variables to use. Then instead of run the childScript you run
the parent. This is quite useful for launching the same command with different
env variables or when the environment variables are too long to have everything
in one line. It also means that you can use $GREET
env var syntax even on
Windows which would usually require it to be %GREET%
.
If you precede a dollar sign with an odd number of backslashes the expression statement will not be replaced. Note that this means backslashes after the JSON string escaping took place. "FOO=\\$BAR"
will not be replaced. "FOO=\\\\$BAR"
will be replaced though.
Lastly, if you want to pass a JSON string (e.g., when using ts-loader), you can do as follows:
{
"scripts": {
"test": "cross-env TS_NODE_COMPILER_OPTIONS={\\\"module\\\":\\\"commonjs\\\"} node some_file.test.ts"
}
}
Pay special attention to the triple backslash (\\\)
before the double quotes (")
and the absence of single quotes (')
.
Both of these conditions have to be met in order to work both on Windows and UNIX.
cross-env
vs cross-env-shell
The cross-env
module exposes two bins: cross-env
and cross-env-shell
. The
first one executes commands using cross-spawn
, while the
second one uses the shell
option from Node's spawn
.
The main use case for cross-env-shell
is when you need an environment
variable to be set across an entire inline shell script, rather than just one
command.
For example, if you want to have the environment variable apply to several
commands in series then you will need to wrap those in quotes and use
cross-env-shell
instead of cross-env
.
{
"scripts": {
"greet": "cross-env-shell GREETING=Hi NAME=Joe \"echo $GREETING && echo $NAME\""
}
}
The rule of thumb is: if you want to pass to cross-env
a command that
contains special shell characters that you want interpreted, then use
cross-env-shell
. Otherwise stick to cross-env
.
On Windows you need to use cross-env-shell
, if you want to handle signal events inside of your program. A common case for that is when you want to capture a SIGINT
event invoked by pressing Ctrl + C
on the command-line interface.
Please note that npm
uses cmd
by default and that doesn't support command
substitution, so if you want to leaverage that, then you need to update your
.npmrc
to set the script-shell
to powershell.

I originally created this to solve a problem I was having with my npm scripts in angular-formly. This made contributing to the project much easier for Windows users.
