Changing your `APP_KEY` can be as simple as running `php artisan key:generate`, but what about your encrypted model data? This is where Laravel App Key Rotator comes in. This package can help with generating a new app key for you, as well as decrypting and re-encrypting your model automatically for you through an artisan command.
It's also generally a good practice to rotate your app keys periodically (e.g. every 6 months) or when certain events happen, such as an employee leaving the company. See more information here: https://tighten.co/blog/app-key-and-you/
## Basic Usage
Rotating your app keys is as simple as running this artisan command:
```bash
php artisan app-key-rotator:rotate
```
## Installation
You can install the package via composer:
```bash
composer require rawilk/laravel-app-key-rotator
```
You can publish the config file with:

```
You can view the default configuration file here: https://github.com/rawilk/laravel-app-key-rotator/blob/main/config/app-key-rotator.php
