This package adds a handful of useful commands to edit your `.env` file in Laravel directly from the command line with a simple, human readable API. Never touch the mouse again!

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

[](#installation)

Via [composer](http://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require sven/flex-env --dev
```

Alternatively, add the package to your dev dependencies in `composer.json` and run `composer update` afterwards:

```
{
    "require-dev": {
        "sven/flex-env": "^2.0"
    }
}
```

**Note:** If you're using Laravel 5.5, you're done! The service provider is automatically registered in the container, thanks to [auto-discovery](https://medium.com/@taylorotwell/package-auto-discovery-in-laravel-5-5-ea9e3ab20518).

Next, add the `FlexEnvServiceProvider` to your `providers` array in `config/app.php`:

```
// config/app.php
'providers' => [
    ...
    Sven\FlexEnv\FlexEnvServiceProvider::class,
]
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The commands in this package should now be registered. Simply run `php artisan`, and you will see them in the list.

```
# Create or edit an entry in your .env file:
$ php artisan env:set {key} {value} [--line-break|-L]
# Add the --line-break (or -L) option to insert a line break before the entry.
```

```
# Delete an entry from your .env file:
$ php artisan env:delete {key}
```

```
# Show the value of the given key from your .env file:
$ php artisan env:get {key}
```

```
# Show the entire .env file:
$ php artisan env:list
```

All changes you made should now be reflected in your `.env` file.
