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

[](#installation)

The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).

Either run

```
php composer.phar require --prefer-dist dimanzver/yii2-dotenv "*"

```

or add

```
"dimanzver/yii2-dotenv": "*"

```

to the require section of your `composer.json` file.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Once the extension is installed, simply use it in your code by :

```
[
    'db' => [
        'password' => env('DB_PASS'),
    ],
]

```

The env function will autoload .env file, it uses the following search mechanism:

```
If there is a Yii class, then pass the alias @vendor or @app or @yii, Otherwise
according to the project directory to determine.

```

But, if your application vendor directory is a symbol link and you no registered @vendor or @app alias before call env function, the project will not working. So you should set the @vendor alias before calling env function.
