. When running your application in production refer to the Deployment section.
Option | Default | Description |

rootDir | . | The root directory of the application to preview. |
--dotenv | . | Point to another .env file to load, relative to the root directory. |
This command sets process.env.NODE_ENV
to production
. To override, define NODE_ENV
in a .env

For convenience, in preview mode, your .env
file will be loaded into process.env
