Download the PHP package allysonsilva/laravel-multienv without Composer

Laravel Multi ENVs

Use multiple .envs files and have a chain of precedence for the environment variables in these different .envs files. Use the .env file in a custom way to manipulate environment variables by domain (multi-tenant).

🚀 Installation

Requirements

The package has been developed and tested to work with the following minimum requirements:

• PHP 8.0
• Laravel 9.0

Laravel version Compatibility

Install the Package

You can install the package via Composer:

Publish the Config

You can then publish the package's config file by using the following command:

🔧 Configuration

1. Add trait to kernel console app/Console/Kernel.php:

2. Add trait to kernel http app/Http/Kernel.php:

📖 Usage

The use of this package happens by manipulating the .envs files in the project.

Using multiple .env files in the project root

• You can use as many .env files as you like.

• By default, when listing .env files to give priority to the last ones, the "natural order" algorithm is used, more specifically PHP's strnatcmp function, thus the environment variables of the last .envs will have priority / precedence over all others.

  • You can use the config('envs.sorted') to custom sort the .envs files. The last items in the array will have priority over the others.
• Use the config('envs.ignored') regex to ignore .env files that should not be processed/handled.

See it in action

Assuming we have 3 .env files in the root of the application with their environment variables as follows:

Obs: The envs folder in the application structure below will be explained later.

Each .env file has its environment variables set as follows:

.envA:

.envB:

.envC:

As it is, the .envC file is the last one listed in the structure above, so it will override any environment variables defined in the preceding .env files, and the environment variables that exist in the other files. more is not in the last (priority), it will continue to be used normally, the result / consolidated of the environment variables of the three files are:

Using the configuration of config('envs.sorted'), you can customize the default order of file priorities:

As above, the result of the environment variables of the 3 files would be:

Using multiple .env files per domain

In the same way that you use multiple envs files in the root of the application, it is possible to use .env files per domain:

• These files are located in the configuration folder of config('envs.folder'), which by default the folder name is envs, as seen in the project listing above.

• In order for the .env file to match the domain / subdomain, it must be created as follows: .env.<domain>.

• To configure a different .env filename than the default, add the domain to config('envs.domains'), having the env key of the domain set to your preference.

See it in action

Using the same structure as the previous example, if the request / domain is site1.test, and there is a file .env.site1.test inside the envs folder, then the environment variables in that file will override all the other environment variables.

Assuming that the .env.site1.test file has the following variables:

When environment variables are used in the project, they will have the following results:

To see the examples in action, let's use this laravel application.

Domain custom .env file name

When the domain's .env filename is different from the default which is: .env.<domain>, then set the env key in the domain configs in config('envs.domains'), as follows:

Using config:cache and route:cache per domain

You can cache configs and routes by domain.

Caching configs by domain - config:cache

A new --domain option is available in the command. Using this option, the environment variables from the domain's .env file in the envs folder will override and take precedence over all others.

Use the config('envs.domains') configuration to customize the .php file that will be saved and used as a cache of configs. This ensures that multiple configuration files per domain can exist and be used in the same project.

To generate and use the .php file with a custom name of the domain cache settings, use the following code as an example:

Caching routes by domain - route:cache

As in the section above, the command to create the route cache file has a new --domain option, which will be used to filter only the routes that have the domain according to the option value.

It is also possible to have a custom name for the routes cache file, such as the configuration cache, is through the APP_ROUTES_CACHE key, as in the example below:
