jeylabs/laravel-dotenv-editor

A package for editing the .env file in your Laravel root.

Edit your Laravel .env file

This package offers you the possibility to edit your .env dynamically through a controller or model., _(*1)

The current version ships with a graphical user interface based on VueJS to offer you a very simple implementation of all features., _(*2)

List of available functions: - check, if a given key exists - get the value of a key - get the complete content of your .env - get the content as JSON - change existing values - add new key-value-pairs - delete existing key-value-pairs - create/restore/delete backups - list all backups - get the content of a backup - enable auto-backups - check, if auto-backups are enabled or not - get and set a backup-path, _(*3)

Installation

Via composer require

Install the package via the composer require command:, _(*4)

composer require jeylabs/laravel-dotenv-editor

Add the package manually

Add the following line to your composer.json require section:, _(*5)

"require": {
    //other packages
    "jeylabs/laravel-dotenv-editor": "1.*"
}

Then run the composer update command:, _(*6)

composer update

After Installation

Add the following line to your config/app.php providers:, _(*7)

Jeylabs\DotenvEditor\DotenvEditorServiceProvider::class,

Add the following line to your config/app.php aliases:, _(*8)

'DotenvEditor' => Jeylabs\DotenvEditor\Facades\DotenvEditor::class,

Finally you have to publish the config file and view via:, _(*9)

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jeylabs\DotenvEditor\DotenvEditorServiceProvider"

After an Update, maybe you have to force publish:, _(*10)

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jeylabs\DotenvEditor\DotenvEditorServiceProvider" --force

Be careful, this will overwrite all your published files! It's always better to delete the config/dotenveditor.phpfile manually and then run the php artisan vendor:publish command than to run the force version., _(*11)

Now you can edit the config file and put in your values., _(*12)

Config

Open the config/dotenveditor.php and fill it up with your values., _(*13)

Note: I had an issue where I had to switch the web-middleware between middleware and middleware_groups. In Laravel 5.2, put the web-middleware in the middleware array. For Laravel 5.1 put it in the middleware_groups array., _(*14)

The path to your .env should not be changed., _(*15)

Deactivate GUI

If you don't want to use the graphical interface, you could deactivate it in the config., _(*16)

Additional middleware

If you want to add more middlewares to the used routes, you could put them in the arrays., _(*17)
