Eco Env
=======

[](#eco-env)

A small set of tools for easily manipulating your project .env files.

[![Latest Stable Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/05157aae94ae352d8d7f385aba61f5d2fe6bd1b39485fbdc9f4cd7bf4136ce01/68747470733a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f686f746d6574656f722f65636f2d656e762f76)](//packagist.org/packages/hotmeteor/eco-env)

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require hotmeteor/eco-env
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

For most of the methods you'll need to provide the relative or absolute `$file` path to your `.env` file.

In a Laravel app, this is as easy as `base_path('.env')`.

All `$key` values, for all methods, is case-insensitive. Keys will always be set in uppercase.

**Note:** The Env `set` and `unset` methods will actually *change* your .env file.

#### Get

[](#get)

`Env::get($file, $key)`

Returns the full key/value string.

#### Set

[](#set)

`Env::set($file, $key, $value)`

Sets a value by key.

#### Unset

[](#unset)

`Env::unset($file, $key, $value)`

Removes a value by key.

#### Has

[](#has)

`Env::has($file, $key, $value)`

Checks if a value exists, by key.

#### Format

[](#format)

`Env::formatValue($value)`

Exposes the internal method for formatting an .env value.

### Notes

[](#notes)

This package isn't intended to be used instead of the fabulous [Dotenv](https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv) package. Dotenv is for automagically loading environment variables, Eco Env is for manipulating them.
