This package can be used to encrypt and decrypt your `.env` file in any **Laravel** Application.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require tobymaxham/laravel-envcrypter
```

Intro
-----

[](#intro)

In modern application we use the `.env` file to store sensitive data like Database-Credentials or API-Tokens in it. The benefit of that is, that none of them exists in your application source code and not in version-control.

But when it comes to share these credentials it's quite hard to share it in a secure way. So when you add some new environment variables you have to share them with your team-mates or need them at least to update it on your production server.

**That's where this package can help you.**

With this package you can store your `.env` file encrypted in your repository and add any information you made in a secure way and share them with your team-mates. When your local `.env` file needs to be updated, you can decrypt the file. Only the "Secret Token" will be needed to decrypt the file.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Lets assume you have a file `.env.repository` where you want to store all the variables of your local `.env` file. You can use the following code to encrypt all the variables and store it in the file you want to commit in your applications repository:

```
$crypter = new \TobyMaxham\LaravelEnvCrypter\EnvCrypter('Your-Secret-Token');

$content = $crypter->encryptFile('.env'); // encrypt the .env-File
file_put_contents('.env.repository', $content);
```

No you can commit your file and share it to your team-mates or upload it to your server.

When someone need to update the local `.env` file, just use the following code to decrypt the variables:

```
$crypter = new \TobyMaxham\LaravelEnvCrypter\EnvCrypter('Your-Secret-Token');

$content = $crypter->decryptFile('.env.repository'); // decrypt the file
file_put_contents('.env', $content); // update your local file
```

Also see the example file to use this package as very simple command-line tool for storing and loading your environment files.
