The PHP Environment Variable Loader is a library that simplifies the process of loading environment variables into PHP classes. It provides a convenient and efficient way to read and store environment variables in your PHP application. By using this library, you can easily manage your application's configuration variables, such as API keys, database credentials, and other settings, without hardcoding them into your codebase.
To install the library, you can use Composer. If you don't have Composer installed, please follow the instructions on the official website.
Run the following command to install the PHP Environment Variable Loader library:
composer require didslm/envTo use the library in your PHP code, you need to instantiate the Didslm\Env class and call the populate method:
class Config
{
#[EnvObj]
public DbConfig $mysqlConfig;
}
class DbConfig
{
#[EnvName('DB_HOST')]
public string $dbHost;
#[EnvName('DB_USER')]
public string $username;
#[EnvName('DB_PASSWORD')]
public string $password;
#[EnvName('DB_DATABASE')]
public string $database;
}
$config = new DbConfig();
//The next line will populate the class properties with the env variables if they exist.
Env::populate($config);
$allConfig = new Config();
Env::populate($allConfig);
