【node】express的www.js文件里面的process.env.PORT

问题描述

在分析www.js里面的代码的时候，有：

var port = normalizePort(process.env.PORT || '3001');
app.set('port', port);

产生两个疑问：

• 这里为什么不直接设 ​​app.set(‘port’,‘3001’) ​​?
• ​​process.env.PORT​​是什么？

问题解疑

process.env.PORT是环境变量

在node中，有全局变量process表示的是当前的node进程。process.env包含着关于系统环境的信息。但是process.env中并不存在PORT这个变量。PORT是用户一个自定义的变量。

我们可以通过以下代码，来查看process的值：

console.log(process);

输出结果为：

$ node process.js

我们可以看到在​​env​​​这个变量里面，没有​​PORT​​变量。

所以对于代码：

var port = normalizePort(process.env.PORT || '3001');
app.set('port', port);

是先考虑到node的进程的环境变量的端口，再考虑3001端口号。
