# Configuration secrets for Laravel
[](https://github.com/audunru/config-secrets/actions/workflows/validate.yml)

Retrieve secrets from AWS Secrets Manager and override config variables in Laravel.
As an example, you could store your database password in AWS Secrets Manager instead of your .env file. This package does not modify your .env file or config files. Instead, the configuration values are set using Laravel's `config()` helper right after your application has started.
# Migration guides
- [v1 to v2](docs/v1-v2-migration.md)
# Installation
## Step 1: Install with Composer
```bash
composer require audunru/config-secrets
```
## Step 2: Publish configuration
Publish the configuration file by running:
```php
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config-secrets-config
```
## Step 3: Edit configuration
This package supports two config providers: `aws` retrieves secrets from AWS Secrets Manager, and the `array` provider simply retrieves them from [config-secrets.php](config/config-secrets.php).
### Aws
In [AWS Secrets Manager](https://aws.amazon.com/secrets-manager/):
1. Create a new secret.
2. Set the secret value to any number of key/value pairs. You can prefix the secret value with `base64:` followed by a base64 encoded string. This is useful for private and public keys, for instance.
In your Laravel application:
1. Set `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` in `.env` or set the region directly in [config-secrets.php](config/config-secrets.php)
2. Set `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` in `.env` or [use any of the other options that AWS SDK offers](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-php/v3/developer-guide/guide_credentials.html)
3. Map Laravel configuration keys to secret keys under the `aws` provider's `configuration` section in [config-secrets.php](config/config-secrets.php)
## Array
The array provider replaces configuration values with values from [config-secrets.php](config/config-secrets.php). Look in [config-secrets.php](config/config-secrets.php) for an example. This allows you to keep environment specific configuration values in source control. For obvious reasons, do not use the array provider for values that should be kept secret.
## Step 4: Update bootstrap/app.php
Add the following lines to `bootstrap/app.php` (recommended but not required):
```php
use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Bootstrap\LoadConfiguration;
use audunru\ConfigSecrets\ConfigSecretsServiceProvider;
$app->afterBootstrapping(LoadConfiguration::class, fn (Application $app) => ConfigSecretsServiceProvider::registerAndUpdate($app));
```
Loading the secrets in `bootstrap/app.php` instead of in a service provider ensures that you can override (probably) any configuration value. For instance, Laravel's `RedisServiceProvider` uses the available configuration values when it is registered. Without the code above, you won't be able to override the Redis password.
## Step 5: Enable configuration cache
It is _very important_ that you cache your Laravel configuration with `php artisan config:cache` or `php artisan optimize` when you use this package. If not, secrets will be retrieved for every request. This process is slow and costly!
