Does node.exe for Windows have an option to specify environment variables?

The node project I need to run requires certain environment variables.

It runs on Windows, and it works fine when I try:

set MY_ENV=abc & node .

Is there an option in node.exe itself that can be used instead of this?

Because there are cases where I can’t use the & symbol.

I’m wondering if an option similar to the following exists:

node . --env MY_ENV=abc

>Solution :

No, there isn’t. You can use a batch script or a shell script to set the environment variables before executing the node command.
for example:

@echo off
set MY_ENV=abc
node .
