Env Convenience Helper
======================

[](#env-convenience-helper)

This package is fairly simple - it's meant to standardize access to environment variables without having to resort to accessing `$_ENV['SOME_VAR']` directly. Yes, this is more of a preference thing rather than actually addressing a technical deficiency. And that's okay.

It encapsulates [vlucas/phpdotenv](https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv) package and provides access to that package's instance for custom configuration as well as a convenience method to access environment variables. It is also opinionated, so it initializes as immutable by default. It is also not meant for super-complex configurations with multiple .env files. For that, just use [dotenv](https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv) directly.

Quick install
-------------

[](#quick-install)

```
composer require vatradar/env
```

Env attempts to follow [semantic versioning](https://semver.org) principles but is also part of a larger private monorepo and shared codebase – due to this, version bumps of this package may happen even if no package-specific changes occur.
