Reference the [Usage]() documention below on how to use `cross-var` in your scripts.\n\n## Usage\n\n### Simple Commands\n\n```\n{\n \"version\": \"1.0.0\",\n \"config\": {\n \"port\": \"1337\"\n },\n \"scripts\": {\n \"prebuild\": \"cross-var rimraf public/$npm_package_version\",\n \"build:html\": \"cross-var jade --obj data.json src/index.jade --out public/$npm_package_version/\",\n \"server:create\": \"cross-var http-server public/$npm_package_version -p $npm_package_config_port\",\n \"server:launch\": \"cross-var opn http://localhost:$npm_package_config_port\"\n }\n}\n```\n\n### Complex Commands\n\n```\n{\n \"version\": \"1.0.0\",\n \"scripts\": {\n \"build:css\": \"cross-var \\\"node-sass src/index.scss | postcss -c .postcssrc.json | cssmin > public/$npm_package_version/index.min.css\\\"\",\n \"build:js\": \"cross-var \\\"mustache data.json src/index.mustache.js | uglifyjs > public/$npm_package_version/index.min.js\\\"\",\n }\n}\n```\n\n## But What About!?!\n\n> Click on one of the following questions to reveal a detailed answer\n\n
\n\tWhy don't you use `cross-env`?\n `cross-env` is great for scripts that need a particular environment variable\nset, but isn't intended to fix cross-environment issues when using variables\ninside an `npm script` \n
\n\n
\n\tWhy don't you use an external node file?\n That is a fine solution to this problem, but if you would rather stick to\nstraight up `npm scripts`, then this is a good solution\n
\n\n
\n Why don't you just use Windows 10 Ubuntu-based Bash shell?\nYes, if you can do that... then great! Windows 10’s version 1607 update, dubbed the “Anniversary Update”, has [intergrated a great bash shell](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/about) that should allow you to run Linux software directly on Windows without any changes.\n\nHowever, if you want to support older Windows versions, then you might consider using `cross-env` or another approach to leverage environment variables in your scripts.\n
