Access Global and Process Variables Lab

In this lab, you'll need to demonstrate how to access global and process variables.

Objectives

  1. Write a script that accesses global object
  2. Add logic to access process information
  3. Save and run the scripts

Introduction

You are a DevOps engineer and you're tasked with deploying a Node.js API server. Developers worked for months on this app and now the team needs your expertise to push the app to production.

The server needs to be "smart" enough to get secret values from whatever OS or environment it is on. In other words, this lab will test you how well you know and can utilize process information. For example, global has other global objects like process, while global.process or just process has system information.

Instructions

  1. Create a script version.js which exports the current node version. Export with module.exports = {your code here}
  2. Create a script envvar.js which returns NODE_ENV environment variable. Export with module.exports = {your code here}
  3. Create a script platform.js which returns the platform name on which you are running it. Export with module.exports = {your code here}
  4. Run npm test to verify your 3 solutions
