Nodemon: Set environment variables on start?

[basharov]

I tried this in nodemon.json, seems like the command runs but doesn't set the variable:

  "events":{
    "start":"export PRIVATE_KEY=MyKey"
  }

What's the proper way to set an environment variable?

You can, I think, add an env property to your nodemon file, or via the CLI

This worked, thanks!

{
  "env": {
    "PRIVATE_KEY": "MyKey",
    "DOCKER_MONGODB": "192.168.99.100:8000"
  }
}

sorry, but what file does this go in?

{
  "env": {
    "PRIVATE_KEY": "MyKey",
    "DOCKER_MONGODB": "192.168.99.100:8000"
  }
}

}

It the nodemon.json file in the root directory.

It the nodemon.json file in the root directory.

And also in the package.json, as the value for the "nodemonConfig" key.
