I recommend doing it with webpack (assumes you're using webpack).

Defining constants is as simple as setting the webpack config file:

var webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
    plugins: [
        new webpack.DefinePlugin({
            'APP_ENV': '"dev"',
            'process.env': {
                'NODE_ENV': '"development"'
            }
        })
    ],    
};

This way you define them outside your source, and they will be available in all your files.
