Simple library to get environment variables converted to simple types.

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

[](#installation)

This package is installable and autoloadable via Composer as [oscarotero/env](https://packagist.org/packages/oscarotero/env).

```
$ composer require deinternetjongens/env

```

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
// Using getenv function:
var_dump(getenv('FOO')); //string(5) "false"

// Using Env:
var_dump(Env::get('FOO')); //bool(false)
```

Available conversions:
----------------------

[](#available-conversions)

- "false" is converted to boolean `false`
- "true" is converted to boolean `true`
- "null" is converted to `null`
- If the string contains only numbers is converted to an integer
- If the string has quotes, remove them

To configure the conversion, you can use the following constants (all enabled by default):

- `Env::CONVERT_BOOL` To convert boolean values
- `Env::CONVERT_NULL` To convert null values
- `Env::CONVERT_INT` To convert integer values
- `Env::STRIP_QUOTES` To remove the quotes of the strings

```
//Convert booleans and null, but not integers or strip quotes
Env::$options = Env::CONVERT_BOOL | Env::CONVERT_NULL;
```

Default value
-------------

[](#default-value)

By default, if the value does not exits, returns `null`, but you can change for any other value:

```
Env::$default = false;
```

The env() function
------------------

[](#the-env-function)

If you don't want to complicate with classes and namespaces, you can use the `env()` function, like in Laravel or other libraries:

```
Env::init(); //expose the function to globals

//now you can use it

var_dump(env('FOO'));
```
