Get current environment name

Question

In Phoenix Framework, how can I get the current environment\'s name ?

I\'ve already tried reading env variables with System.get_env(\"MIX_ENV\")

Answer 1

Now in each environment config file (e.g. prod.exs) generated by default, you'll see the environment atom being set at the last line:

config :your_app, :environment, :prod

You can then use Application.get_env(:your_app, :environment) to get it.

You can do the same in any custom environment config you create.
