How to use variables with different values for production? about preact-cli HOT 4 CLOSED

Hiya - you can use process.env.NODE_ENV, it'll be "development" or "production" just like in your setup:
https://github.com/developit/preact-cli/blob/master/src/lib/webpack-config.js#L245

const API_HOST = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 'https://api.my-server.com' : 'http://localhost:3000';

Because of the way Webpack + Uglify work, this will actually get statically compiled out in production, so the above code will turn into simply:

const API_HOST = 'https://api.my-server.com';

what setup? currently the cli doesn't have webpack config. I am afraid to copy my entire webpack config just because of this need. can i have empty webpack config that only have those lines?

In the CLI's existing internal webpack config, this is already in place. You can just use the value in you code like I showed above, it already works. This shouldn't require it, but what you're referring to is being implemented in #56 :)
