EnvDiff is tool to compare environment keys to find the difference between .env files and actualize them.

[![Example cast](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/e7ff0f0f4d4ca1cff6ac92f75fa6e41fe47f238a625d425b15fa6ed69da99574/68747470733a2f2f6a2e676966732e636f6d2f7938524741362e676966)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/e7ff0f0f4d4ca1cff6ac92f75fa6e41fe47f238a625d425b15fa6ed69da99574/68747470733a2f2f6a2e676966732e636f6d2f7938524741362e676966)

Installation
============

[](#installation)

```
composer require tekill/env-diff

```

Manual running
--------------

[](#manual-running)

### Actualize variables

[](#actualize-variables)

Compare `.env` with `.env.dist` and add missing variables to `.env` file.

```
php ./vendor/bin/env-diff actualize

```

Compare `.env` with `.env.example` and add missing variables to `.env` file.

```
php ./vendor/bin/env-diff actualize .env.example

```

Compare `.env-target` with `.env.example` and add missing variables to `.env-target` file.

```
php ./vendor/bin/env-diff actualize .env.example .env-target

```

If you want to delete outdated values just run command with `-k=false` option.

```
php ./vendor/bin/env-diff actualize -k=false

```

### Show differences

[](#show-differences)

Command has same interface, arguments and options.

Compare `.env` with `.env.dist` and show differences between them.

```
php ./vendor/bin/env-diff diff

```

Composer script
---------------

[](#composer-script)

Add code block in `composer.json`:

```
"scripts": {
    "post-update-cmd": "LF\\EnvDiff\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::actualizeEnv"
}

```

The `.env` will then be created or updated by the composer script, to match the structure of the dist file `.env.dist` by asking you the missing variables.

By default, the dist file is assumed to be in the same place than the target `.env`file, suffixed by `.dist`. This can be changed in the configuration:

```
{
    "extra": {
        "lf-env-diff": [
            {
                "dist": "path/to/env.dist",
                "target": "path/to/.env"
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

The script handler will ask you interactively for variables which are missing in the target env file, using the value of the dist file as default value. If composer is run in a non-interactive mode `--no-interaction`, the values of the dist file will be used for missing variables.

**Warning:** This handler will overwrite any comments or spaces into your target `.env` file so handle with care.

### Managing multiple ignored files

[](#managing-multiple-ignored-files)

The handler can manage multiple ignored files. To use this feature, the `lf-env-diff` extra should contain a JSON array with multiple configurations inside it instead of a configuration object:

```
{
    "extra": {
        "lf-env-diff": [
            {
                 "dist": "path/to/.env.dist",
                 "target": "path/to/.env"
            },
            {
                 "dist": "path/to/.env.dist",
                 "target": "path/to/.env-test",
                 "keep-outdated": false
            }
        ]
    }
}
```

### Show difference

[](#show-difference)

Add code block in `composer.json`:

```
"scripts": {
    "post-update-cmd": "LF\\EnvDiff\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::showDifference"
}

```

This handler has same behavior as described before.

Git hooks
---------

[](#git-hooks)

You can use Git hook that gets triggered after any 'git pull' whenever one of the files specified has changed. Useful to update any web application dependency or sync configuration.

Create `post-merge` hook in `.git/hooks` directory of your project:

```
#/usr/bin/env bash

changed_files="$(git diff-tree -r --name-only --no-commit-id ORIG_HEAD HEAD)"

check_run() {
  echo "$changed_files" | grep -E --quiet "$1" && eval "$2"
}

# Actualize env files if the `env.dist` file gets changed
check_run env.dist "php ./vendor/bin/env-diff actualize"

```
