Is there some way to pass parameters to the laravel mix via the command line and get them in the webpack.mix.js file? For example, I added the line frontend-dev, but I can't get the "foo" variable after running "yarn run frontend-dev".
package.json
{
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"development": "mix",
"frontend-dev": "mix -- --env foo=frontend"
},
"devDependencies": {
"axios": "^0.21",
"laravel-mix": "^6.0.6",
"lodash": "^4.17.19",
"postcss": "^8.1.14"
}
}
webpack.mix.js
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
//console.log(process.env);
console.log(process.env.foo); //output: undefined
You can do it from the command line...
npm run development --foo=frontend
Then in webpack.mix.js, you can prefix your foo variable with npm_config_.
console.log(process.env.npm_config_foo);
Otherwise, if you want the value to come from your .env file, you may need to prefix your .env variable with MIX_, like MIX_FOO_VARIABLE=frontend.
And then, in webpack.mix.js, you can do the following.
console.log(process.env.MIX_FOO_VARIABLE);
