How can I set NODE_ENV for nodejs project when building by Buildpack?

[hofo23]

Hi, I am struggling to build project by buildpack, I need to overwrite default values by values defined in gitlab pipeline. I see always used only default value "production" set.

in gitlab pipeline I am using :
AUTO_DEVOPS_BUILD_IMAGE_CNB_BUILDER: "paketobuildpacks/builder:base"

Can you recommend me how can I set it up?
