Using Custom Ports in Development

For using custom ports in your application, you can either

• Add a PORT key in your .env file.
• Pass the PORT environment variable through the command line.

Add to .env file

PORT=8000

Pass PORT via command line

Windows (cmd.exe)

set PORT=8000&&npm start

(Note: the lack of whitespace is intentional.)

Windows (Powershell)

($env:PORT = "8000") -and (npm start)

Linux, macOS (Bash)

PORT=8000 npm start

To avoid having to set the environment variable each time, you can either include in the npm start script like so:

{
  "start": "PORT=8000 kvell-scripts start"
}
