Gatsby: How can I use different set of gatsby.config.js plugins for dev, staging and production environments?

[JustFly1984]

For all of our gatsby.js projects, we are using at least 3 environments, and the typescript.

Is there a way to use unique set of plugins, or even different gatsby.config/node/ssr js depending on ENV variable?

You can add/remove plugins and node/SSR code depending on the environment as it's all JavaScript.

You can access env variables at process.env.MYVAR

@JustFly1984 we have an env variable just for that called GATSBY_ACTIVE_ENV (more info: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/environment-variables/#additional-environments-staging-test-etc). It will still put NODE_ENV=production when running gatsby build so your site is minfied and everything but it will read different .env files from disk. You can also use it directly in code as @KyleAMathews described.

does this make sense?

In addition to the question of the author, is it also possible to run a build version using a staging .env file?
