how to run node.js app from cmd with some predefined port in Windows

Is it some command exist to run my node.js code with directly specified port? something like node server.js port=7777 ?

my server.js code looks like this

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  if (mount(req, res)) return;
}).listen(process.env.PORT || 80);
Solution

  • A simple adding to Alberto's answer. On Windows machine you haven't export command in cmd, use set instead. Then the whole script will be looks like this:

    set PORT=7777
node server.js

    Note that the syntax in PowerShell is slightly different:

    $env:PORT=7777
node server.js
