Environment variables not accessible within nodejs script file

Question

I have written a shell script as below

export MONGO_DBNAME=dev-db
export MONGO_HOST=a.b.c.c.d:27017,w.x.y.z:27017
export MONGO_PORT=27017
export MONGO_USERNAME=devuser
export MONGO_PASSWORD=devpassword
export MONGO_REPLICASET=devreplicaset

babel-node email-report.js

the environment variables declared are not accessible within the node script using process.env

Can someone please help with why is this happening and how can it be resolved?

Add email-report.js to your question.

You can assign it like this also process.env.BAR = "bar"

To access in node console this process.env.BAR you will get your value "BAR"

How are you accessing variable in your JS, its quite simple.

# ~ export DATA="HELLO"
