How to pass options via CLI?

• Laravel Mix Version: 0.12.1
• Node Version: 8.1.4
• NPM Version: 5.0.3
• OS: Ubuntu 16.04

Description:

So I want to disable notifications. I can do that using mix.disableNotifications(), but that would mean I have to hardcode it in my webpack.mix.js. I don’t want that. I want to have a separate run task in package.json which has notifications disabled. So how are you supposed to set notifications=false from CLI?

Steps To Reproduce:

• Try to figure out how to pass notifications=false from CLI
• Fail

I stumbled across the same problem and found a solution that worked quite well for me:

const mix = require('laravel-mix');
const argv = require('yargs').argv;

...

if (argv.env.notifications === false) {
  mix.disableNotifications();
}

The command:

npm run development -- --env.notifications false

That’s almost the same I did: npm run prod-silent

Entry in package.json: cross-env NODE_ENV=production MIX_NOTIFICATIONS=false node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js

// webpack.mix.js

// ...
if (process.env.MIX_NOTIFICATIONS == 'false') {
    mix.disableNotifications();
}
// ...
