An application needs to setup different configurations, such as for different deployment environments (dev, test, prod).

Define configuration variables

Edit src/client/app/shared/config/env.config.ts to add the variables required.

Create and / or edit configurations

In tools/env/, for example tools/env/dev.ts
As an example, create a test.ts so as to be able to specify different backend servers for testing

Use in application - Import and use the Config:

 import { Config } from '../config/env.config';
 private webServiceURL: string = Config.WEBSERVICEURL;

Run node server using configuration
```
 npm start -- --env-config test
```
Observe the values

By default the Configuration object is printed to the console when the application starts

Adjust build to use configurations

If you need to change the configurations during certain tasks, edit package.json
