Environment Variables

Node.js from v20.6.0 have built-in .env file support, can call node --env-file=config.env, very comfortably.

If the way is to use this together with eleventy? If now call eleventy --env-file=.env.development there will be an error

[11ty] Eleventy CLI Fatal Error: (more in DEBUG output)
[11ty] We don’t know what '--env-file=config.env' is. Use --help to see the list of supported commands. (via EleventyCommandCheckError)

The way you passed them in, you pass them as a parameter to the eleventy module, but you'd want it as a node parameter. Sadly, as I see it right now, neither npm exec nor npx have support for this parameter.
I would've expected npx --node-options="--env-file=.env" eleventy to work, but it doesn't.

Thanks, that is to npm exec or npx. As far as I understand, you are not sure whether this is possible or not, if someone writes at once, can close it.
Cheers.
