An env() alternative that works with long multi-line environment variables in places where it's not possible to do so natively - eg. AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Imagine you want to run Laravel Passport in AWS so you need to pass your private key as a PASSPORT\_PRIVATE\_KEY environment variable but hey 1) AWS doesn't allow multi-line environment variables 2) AWS has a limit of 4096 character per environment variable.

So you end up getting an annoying error like this:

```
Service:AmazonCloudFormation, Message:Template format error: Parameter 'EnvironmentVariables' default value '[****]' length is greater than 4096.

```

Solution
========

[](#solution)

Our solution is simple, go to `config/passport.php` and replace
