You might actually want to look at my other utility [cross-env](http://npm.im/cross-env). It's probably what you're really looking for :-)

Use in your config files to set environment variables cross-platform.

## Usage

I use this with my npm scripts:

```javascript

{

  "scripts": {

    "build": "webpack --set-env-NODE_ENV=production",

    "test": "karma start --set-env-COVERAGE=true --set-env-NODE_ENV=test"

  }

}

```

And then in my `webpack.config.js` file, at the very top I do:

```javascript

require('argv-set-env')()

```

Which in the case of `build` would set `NODE_ENV` to the string `'production'` and in the case of

`test` it would set `NODE_ENV` to the string `'test'` and `COVERAGE` to the boolean `true`.

### Options

You can optionally pass `options`:

```javascript

require('argv-set-env')({

  // I'm setting these to the defaults here

  // you could set them to whatever you want

  env: process.env, // the object to have variables set on

  argv: process.argv, // the array of arguments which have the arguments defined

  prefix: '--set-env', // the prefix used in the array of arguments defining variables to set

})

```
