NG_APP_ENV not taken from .env file about ngx-env HOT 2 CLOSED

NG_APP_ENV is to be set from the command line indeed as the builder uses its value to determine what environment files it should load besides .env and .env.local. So it doesn't make sense to put it in an environment file.

NG_APP_ENV is set to NODE_ENV by default so doing
NODE_ENV=dev npm start is equivalent to doing NG_APP_ENV=dev npm start

Note: If you set NG_APP_ENV to localhost (in command line) the builder will look also for an env file named .env.localhost.

Does it make sense?

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.
Yes it make sense
I am currently making the CD of a project and wanted to put all in .env, but I will use a custom variable to set NODE_ENV when running it.
