Env Manager
===========

[](#env-manager)

A Laravel package to easily manage .env file entries. This package provides a simple way to read, write, update, and remove environment variables in your Laravel application's .env file.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require darwinnatha/env-manager
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can use the package either through the Facade or by instantiating the EnvManager class directly.

### Using the Facade

[](#using-the-facade)

```
use Darwinnatha\EnvManager\Facades\EnvManagerFacade as EnvManager;

// Set or update a variable
EnvManager::set('APP_NAME', 'My Application');

// Remove a variable
EnvManager::remove('UNUSED_VARIABLE');
```

### Using the Class Directly

[](#using-the-class-directly)

```
use Darwinnatha\EnvManager\EnvManager;

$envManager = new EnvManager();

// Set or update a variable
$envManager->set('APP_NAME', 'My Application');

// Remove a variable (static method)
EnvManager::remove('UNUSED_VARIABLE');
```

### Features

[](#features)

- Automatically creates .env file from .env.example if it doesn't exist
- Updates existing variables without affecting other entries
- Adds new variables if they don't exist
- Safely removes variables while preserving file structure
- Supports custom .env file paths
- Maintains proper .env file formatting

### Custom .env Path

[](#custom-env-path)

You can specify a custom path for your .env file:

```
EnvManager::set('APP_NAME', 'My App', '/custom/path/.env');
EnvManager::remove('APP_NAME', '/custom/path/.env');
```

Error Handling
--------------

[](#error-handling)

The package throws exceptions in the following cases:

- When the specified path is a directory
- When neither .env nor .env.example files exist
- When file operations fail
