Overview

[](#overview)

A library for extracting and validating env-functions such as env(), config() on sources

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require arwg/env-knife
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Simple to use. Input the name of the function used to load environment variables on source codes. The thing is that no key-value setup is required.

```
      $envKnife = new EnvKnife();

      // For the first parameter, you can set any function name you are using for loading environment variables.

      // Detect funcs such as env('URL'), env("APP_CRITICAL", 5)
      // !! Variable types are limited to 'string, numeric, boolean'
      $envKnife->parseResults('env', base_path(), ['app', 'bootstrap', 'config', 'routes']);

      // Detect when 'env('URL') returns null'
      $results = $envKnife->getEmptyResults();

      // Detect funcs such as config('abc'), config("ABC_CRITICAL", 5)
      // !! Variable types are limited to 'string, numeric, boolean'
      $envKnife->parseResults('config', base_path(), ['app', 'bootstrap', 'config']);

      $results = $envKnife->getEmptyResults();

      // Detect errors such as "undefined index 'c'" in config('abc')['v']['c'] in case that there is no 'c'.
      $results2 = $envKnife->getErrorResults();
```
