# Laravel 5.7 env() Polyfill

[![TravisCI](https://travis-ci.org/phpexpertsinc/Laravel57-env-polyfill.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/phpexpertsinc/Laravel57-env-polyfill)
[![Test Coverage](https://api.codeclimate.com/v1/badges/4055759a290cbc797f5f/test_coverage)](https://codeclimate.com/github/phpexpertsinc/Laravel57-env-polyfill/test_coverage)

## Benefits

* Works with *any* package, even non-Laravel ones (it was my secondary reason)
* You no longer have to fear Laravel just going one day "Oops! We're not going to read from the environment anymore! Too bad!" on a non-major release.

## Backstory

With the introduction of Laravel 5.8, they broke the essential `env()` function
by changing it from reading from/writing to environment variables to only using
the global `$_SERVER` array, which is totally useless in console-based apps.

See
* https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/27462
* https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/27828
* https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/27949

Therefore, I took it upon myself to create this polyfill to ensure that the pre-5.8
behaviors remain intact.

Additionally, this is a great little utility function to use outside of Laravel-specic
projects that also want to use the `env()` function.

It is specially configured with a `0.0.1` composer vendor and a `AAutoloadFirst`
namespace, so that composer will always load it before it gets to Laravel.
See https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/6768

The source code is lifted directly from the last version of Laravel 5.7.

As you can imagine, most of the copyright in this project belongs to
Taylor Otwell, 2018.

It also includes 100% unit test code .

## Installation

Via Composer

```bash
composer require phpexperts/laravel-env-polyfill

}
```
