Is there an getEnvironmentMode or equivalent convenience method in Angular?

Question

There is a isDevMode convenience method is Angular, as described here: https://alligator.io/angular/environment-variables/

      import { Component, OnInit, isDevMode } from '@angular/core';

Is there a convenience method to get the actual environment mode? Like prod, dev, mock, etc?

I know I can add an extra variable in environment.ts for it. But if we are running the app with --environment mock already, I don't want to have to set environmentMode=mock in environment.mock.ts

You cannot get ENV variables on Client which is browser. You can send request to a rest service on your server, and get environment from backend, then response back to client

app.get("/rest/getenv", function(req, res) {
    var env = process.env.ENV_VARIABLE;
    res.json({result: env});
});

EDIT

No, there is no such thing to get environment Mode.

Not sure if you have misunderstood my question. My question is regarding getting the environment mode when you do ng serve or do ng build. the one after the --environment flag – techguy2000 May 21 '18 at 17:26
yes you can do this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49496438/use-process-env-in-angular-5-environment – Sajeetharan May 21 '18 at 17:28
Still not what I am looking for. It actually points back to the isDevMode article. I am looking for environmentMode... – techguy2000 May 21 '18 at 17:30
No there is no such thing – Sajeetharan May 21 '18 at 18:05
