Pass custom parameters to a dart application when using pub serve to run it

Is it possible to pass some argument to a dart application when running it using pub serve? What I'm trying to do is have an application use some mocked services while I'm developing it, but then when it's deployed I'd like to replace mocked services with real ones. For example:

const bool DEBUG = true;

class AppModule extends Module {
  AppModule() {
    type(PaymentService, implementedBy: DEBUG ? PaypalPaymentService : MockPaymentService );
  }
}

I'd like this DEBUG parameter to somehow come form the environment and to be easily configurable when running the application using pub serve. Which is the best way to achieve this?

You could check the URL. If host is 127.0.0.1 your in the development environment, otherwise it's prod.

Another idea is to use a transformer that injects something when mode is debug. Not sure if that is really possible this way.

$ pub help serve
Run a local web development server.

Usage: pub serve
-h, --help               Print usage information for this command.
    --port               The port to listen on.
                         (defaults to "8080")

    --[no-]dart2js       Compile Dart to JavaScript.
                         (defaults to on)

    --[no-]force-poll    Force the use of a polling filesystem watcher.
    --mode               Mode to run transformers in.
                         (defaults to "debug")
