What does NODE_ENV=production do?

Setting NODE_ENV=production causes these libraries and tools to behave as follows:

npm:

• install will not install devDependencies
• shrinkwrap will not install devDependencies
• prune will remove devDependencies

yarn:

JS Sprintf

Simple sprintf in JS using Tagged Template Literals

sprintf`There are ${0} monkeys in the ${1}.`( '10', 'tree' );
// > There are 10 monkeys in the tree.

const linkTemplate = sprintf`<a href="${0}" ${2}>${1}</a>`;
linkTemplate('/contact/', 'Contact Us');
linkTemplate('https://example.com', 'Open Preview', 'target="_blank"');

Finding this took me longer than it should have, probably because I was impatiently looking for "timeststamp" instead of "milliseconds of the Unix epoch". For future searchers, Luxon uses the methods DateTime.fromMillis and DateTime.valueOf.

// Create a Luxon DateTime from a JS Unix timestamp
const ts = new Date().getTime();     // 1516717417146
const dt = DateTime.fromMillis(ts);  // { ts: 2018-01-23T09:23:37.146-05:00 ...
console.log(dt.valueOf());           // 1516717417146
