Laravel Environments

Easy management of different environments in Laravel projects.

Installation

This package can be installed through Composer:

composer require highsolutions/laravel-environments

Or by adding the following line to the require section of your Laravel webapp's composer.json file:

    "require": {
        "HighSolutions/laravel-environments": "3.*"
    }

And run composer update to install the package.

Then, if you are using Laravel <= 5.4, update config/app.php by adding an entry for the service provider:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    HighSolutions\LaravelEnvironments\EnvironmentServiceProvider::class,
];

Optionally, publish the configuration file if you want to change any defaults:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="HighSolutions\LaravelEnvironments\EnvironmentServiceProvider"

This will create new file config/environments.php with few configuration options for package.

Configuration

Name	Description	Default
path	Path where environments will be stored	environments/
files	Files that will be stored for each environment	[ '.env', 'phpunit.xml', 'public/.htaccess', ]
clear_directory_when_overwriting	If set to true, overwriting environment will be cleared out before putting new files there	false
keep_existing_file_when_missing	If set to true, existing file in base directory will be not deleted when this file is missing in environment set to active	false

Usage

Create a new environment

To create a new environment, just use create method:

    php artisan env:create NAME_OF_ENVIRONMENT

In case that another environment exists with the same name, you can force to overwrite it with --overwrite option:

    php artisan env:create local --overwrite

You can use also predefined make:env method to be more consistent with other Laravel commands (--overwrite option is enabled here):

    php artisan make:env NAME_OF_ENVIRONMENT

Set environment as active

To copy files to main codebase, just use set method:

    php artisan env:set NAME_OF_ENVIRONMENT

Copy an environment

To make a duplicate of existing environment, just use copy method:

    php artisan env:copy NAME_OF_EXISTING_ENVIRONMENT NAME_OF_NEW_ENVIRONMENT

In case that another environment exists with the same name, you can force to overwrite it with --overwrite option:

    php artisan env:copy old new --overwrite

Remove an environment

To remove an environment, just use remove method:

    php artisan env:remove NAME_OF_ENVIRONMENT

List all environments

To see a list of all environments, just use list method:

    php artisan env:list

Testing

Run the tests with:

vendor/bin/phpunit
