The idea behind the example

This example show how to set custom environment variables for your application based on NODE_ENV using transform-define.

Caveats

• Because a babel plugin is used the output is cached in node_modules/.cache by babel-loader. When modifying the configuration you will have to manually clear this cache to make changes visible. Alternately, you may skip caching for babel-loader as shown here.
• This example sets the environment configuration at build time, meaning the same build might not be used in e.g. both staging and production. For a solution which sets the environment at runtime, see here.
