Environment-Based Drupal Settings
=================================

[](#environment-based-drupal-settings)

This package extends Symfony's [symfony/dotenv](https://symfony.com/components/Dotenv)component to allow streamlined Drupal config via [Environment Variables](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable). Please refer to the Symfony component's documentation about how `.env` files should be used. It is important to note that `.env` files are *ignored* if the `APP_ENV` var has already been set by the server. For performance purposes, production environments should ideally rely on pre-configured environment variables, rather than environment variable values loaded from `.env` files.
