Edit your Laravel .env file
===========================

[](#edit-your-laravel-env-file)

This package offers you the possibility to edit your .env dynamically through a controller or model.

The current version ships with a graphical user interface based on VueJS to offer you a very simple implementation of all features.

List of available functions:

- check, if a given key exists
- get the value of a key
- get the complete content of your .env
- get the content as JSON
- change existing values
- add new key-value-pairs
- delete existing key-value-pairs
- create/restore/delete backups
- list all backups
- get the content of a backup
- enable auto-backups
- check, if auto-backups are enabled or not
- get and set a backup-path

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

[](#installation)

### Via composer require

[](#via-composer-require)

Install the package via the composer require command:

```
composer require jeylabs/laravel-dotenv-editor

```

### Add the package manually

[](#add-the-package-manually)

Add the following line to your composer.json require section:

```
"require": {
    //other packages
    "jeylabs/laravel-dotenv-editor": "1.*"
}

```

Then run the composer update command:

```
composer update

```

### After Installation

[](#after-installation)

Add the following line to your `config/app.php` providers:

```
Jeylabs\DotenvEditor\DotenvEditorServiceProvider::class,

```

Add the following line to your `config/app.php` aliases:

```
'DotenvEditor' => Jeylabs\DotenvEditor\Facades\DotenvEditor::class,

```

Finally you have to publish the config file and view via:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jeylabs\DotenvEditor\DotenvEditorServiceProvider"

```

After an Update, maybe you have to force publish:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jeylabs\DotenvEditor\DotenvEditorServiceProvider" --force

```

Be careful, this will overwrite all your published files! It's always better to delete the `config/dotenveditor.php`file manually and then run the `php artisan vendor:publish` command than to run the force version.

Now you can edit the config file and put in your values.

Config
------

[](#config)

Open the config/dotenveditor.php and fill it up with your values.

**Note:** I had an issue where I had to switch the web-middleware between `middleware` and `middleware_groups`. In Laravel 5.2, put the web-middleware in the `middleware` array. For Laravel 5.1 put it in the `middleware_groups` array.

The path to your .env should not be changed.

Deactivate GUI
--------------

[](#deactivate-gui)

If you don't want to use the graphical interface, you could deactivate it in the config.

Additional middleware
---------------------

[](#additional-middleware)

If you want to add more middlewares to the used routes, you could put them in the arrays.
