not able to set process.env.PORT variable in windows for node
const express = require('express');
const api = express();
api.get('/', (req, res) => res.send('Hello World'));
var port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
api.listen(port, () => console.log(`Listening to port
$port`));
I am using this command to
set PORT=5000
After setting it stills show Listening to port 3000
node.js

1) process.env.PORT uppercase... 2) you are setting it to 3000 if you want 5000 then it’s process.env.PORT || 5000

You must run your file with the same CLI program (and instance) you used to set the variable value.
In Command Prompt:
set PORT=5000In Power Shell:
$env:PORT=5000In Bash (Windows):
export PORT=5000
After that, run your program node app.js and it works.
If you're using the integrated terminal of VSCode to run your file, but using another CLI program (or instance) to set the value of PORT, is not going to work unless you change that value permanently by using setx PORT 5000 either with the Command Prompt or Power Shell (I don't know how to do it from Bash for Windows). In that case, you would need to restart VSCode for running your file with the last value of PORT.
