A dotenv parser.

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

[](#installation)

To install this package

```
$ composer require originphp/dotenv

```

Then in your application bootstrap

```
use Origin\DotEnv\DotEnv;
(new DotEnv())->load(__DIR__);
```

Here is an example of a dotenv file.

```
GMAIL_USERNAME=foo@gmail.com
GMAIL_PASSWORD=secret

```

You can also add `export` in front of each line so you can source the file with bash.

```
export GMAIL_USERNAME=foo@gmail.com
export GMAIL_PASSWORD=secret

```

If you want to use a custom name

```
use Origin\DotEnv\DotEnv;
(new DotEnv())->load(__DIR__,'.env-local');
```
