How to pass arguments to app using pm2?

Question

I am using pm2 to start my app but i am not able to pass argument to it. the command I am using is pm2 start app.js -- dev. Though this works with forever.

Answer 1

Well there are 2 ways you can do to pass the parameters from pm2 to nodejs in CLI:

• pm2 start app.js -- dev --port=1234 (note there is an extra space between -- and dev)
• pm2 start app.js --node-args="dev --port=1234"

Both ways, you will find these values exist in process.argv (['dev','--port=1234'])
