Basic Setup

Setting Environment Variables

There are multiple ways to set or update environment variables:

Using PHP Code

1. Basic usage:

// Set/update variable in .env file
Env::set("MY_APP_NAME", "My Laravel Application");

// Set/update variable in .env.example file
Env::envFile('.env.example')->set("MY_APP_NAME", "Localhost");

2. Add comments:

// Add a comment to explain the variable
Env::set("ENABLE_CLOCKWORK", false, "Enable or disable the clockwork debugging tools");
// Result in .env:
// ENABLE_CLOCKWORK=false #Enable or disable the clockwork debugging tools

3. Control variable positioning:

// Add/update a key after a specific key
Env::set("ENABLE_CLOCKWORK", false, afterKey: "APP_NAME");
// Result in .env:
// APP_NAME=MyApp
// ENABLE_CLOCKWORK=false

Using Artisan Commands

1. Interactive mode:

php artisan souldoit:set-env

2. Direct mode:

php artisan souldoit:set-env "MY_APP_NAME=My Laravel Application"

3. Specify target env file:

php artisan souldoit:set-env "MY_APP_NAME=Localhost" -E .env.example
# or
php artisan souldoit:set-env "MY_APP_NAME=Localhost" --env_file=.env.example

Getting Environment Variables

Retrieve environment variable values using the get method:

$value = Env::get("MY_APP_NAME");

🛡️ Production Usage
