About

Laravel Environment is a library designed to be used in conjunction with Laravel. It enables the user to load a different .env file from the original. The coolest thing about this library is that it provides different methods for you to do this.

There are currently 3 methods:

\Ejetar\LaravelEnvironment\LaravelEnvironment::fromSystemEnvironmentVariable($system_environment_variable_name, $default_value = 'local')
//Loads an environment file according to the value of a system environment variable

\Ejetar\LaravelEnvironment\LaravelEnvironment::fromFile($filename)
//Loads an environment file explicitly, stating the file path

\Ejetar\LaravelEnvironment\LaravelEnvironment::fromCustomMethod(Callable $callable)
//Enables the user to enter a custom method for loading the environment file

How it works

To use this library is very simple, just call Laravel Environment before return $app; in the bootstrap/app.php file:

...

\Ejetar\LaravelEnvironment\LaravelEnvironment::fromSystemEnvironmentVariable('MYAPP_ENV');

return $app;

Get started

Examples

From system environment variable method

First example

We assume in this example that the system environment variable MYAPP_ENV exists and has the value 'production'.

\Ejetar\LaravelEnvironment\LaravelEnvironment::fromSystemEnvironmentVariable('MYAPP_ENV');
//Will load the environment file .env.production

Second example

We assume in this example that the system environment variable MYAPP_ENV does not exist.

\Ejetar\LaravelEnvironment\LaravelEnvironment::fromSystemEnvironmentVariable('MYAPP_ENV');
//Will load the .env.local environment file. When the system environment variable does not exist, then it takes $default_value.
//By default $default_value is set to 'local'.

Third example

We assume in this example that the system environment variable MYAPP_ENV does not exist, and $default_value will be 'acme'.

\Ejetar\LaravelEnvironment\LaravelEnvironment::fromSystemEnvironmentVariable('MYAPP_ENV', 'acme');
//Will load the .env.acme environment file. When the system environment variable does not exist, then it takes $default_value.

From file method

First example

\Ejetar\LaravelEnvironment::fromFile('.env.local');
//Load the .env.local file explicitly

From custom method

First example

Loading the server IP-based environment file:

\Ejetar\LaravelEnvironment\LaravelEnvironment::fromCustomMethod(function(){
  switch($_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']) {
    case '1.2.3.4':
      return '.env.local';
      break;
    case '5.6.7.8':
      return '.env.production';
      break;
    default: 
      return '.env.other';
  }
});

Installation

composer require ejetar/laravel-environment
