Reading environment variables from Node Views

I am starting to use NodeJs. I am currently using Express to render a view, and I want to set some conventions.

My development environment uses NodeMon and Reload to automatically refresh the browser every time I make changes to the source code. I installed my dependencies as follows:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon app.js"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "3.4.8",
    "ejs-locals": "1.0.2",
    "ejs": "*"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "nodemon": "1.0.14",
    "grunt": "*",
    "grunt-contrib-less": "~0.9.0",
    "grunt-contrib-cssmin": "~0.7.0",
    "reload": "~0.1.0"
  }
}

This ensures that my production environment does not load anything that is not really needed to run the application.

Reboot uses the javascript file located in /reload/reload.jsto update the browser. This file is added to my main layout.ejs file, so it runs in all views.

I am trying to do something like this so that it does not appear on the production server:

<%if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') { %>
        <script src="/reload/reload.js"></script>
<% } %>

Try:

<%if (settings.env === 'development') { %>
        <script src="/reload/reload.js"></script>
<% } %>

, ejs-locals .
