Hi @jimbosupernova. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To override the default value of envName from process.env.NODE_ENV to a custom environment variable in Nuxt, you can use the --envName flag when running Nuxt CLI commands. This flag allows you to specify a custom environment name that will be used for resolving configuration overrides. Here's how you can do it: 1. First, set your custom environment variable. For example, let's say you want to use MY_CUSTOM_ENV:

   export MY_CUSTOM_ENV=staging

   export MY_CUSTOM_ENV=staging

2. Then, when running Nuxt CLI commands, use the --envName flag followed by your custom environment variable:

   npx nuxi dev --envName $MY_CUSTOM_ENV

   npx nuxi dev --envName $MY_CUSTOM_ENV

or for building:

   npx nuxi build --envName $MY_CUSTOM_ENV

   npx nuxi build --envName $MY_CUSTOM_ENV

This approach is supported by various Nuxt CLI commands, including dev, build, generate, and prepare, as documented in the Nuxt API documentation: - nuxi dev - nuxi build - nuxi generate - nuxi prepare By using the --envName flag, you're telling Nuxt to use your custom environment variable instead of the default process.env.NODE_ENV for determining which configuration overrides to apply. Remember that this affects how Nuxt resolves configuration overrides in your nuxt.config.ts file. You can leverage this to create environment-specific configurations as described in the Nuxt Configuration documentation. Nuxt Configuration provides an example of how to use environment-specific overrides in your nuxt.config.ts:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  $production: {
    // Production-specific config
  },
  $development: {
    // Development-specific config
  },
  $env: {
    staging: {
      // Staging-specific config
    }
  },
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  $production: {
    // Production-specific config
  },
  $development: {
    // Development-specific config
  },
  $env: {
    staging: {
      // Staging-specific config
    }
  },
})

In this setup, using --envName staging would apply the configuration under the $env.staging key. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
