README

A simple and lightweight .env loader for PHP projects.

📦 Installation

Via Composer:

composer require codemonster-ru/env

🚀 Usage

Create a .env file in the root of your project:

APP_NAME=MyApp
FEATURE_ENABLED=true
FEATURE_DISABLED=false
OPTIONAL_VALUE=null
EMPTY_VALUE=empty
SSR_URL="http://localhost:3000"

Load .env in your app:

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Codemonster\Env\Env;

// Load environment variables from .env
Env::load(__DIR__ . '/.env');

// Access values via Env::get()
echo Env::get('APP_NAME'); // "MyApp"
var_dump(Env::get('FEATURE_ENABLED')); // true (bool)
var_dump(Env::get('FEATURE_DISABLED')); // false (bool)
var_dump(Env::get('OPTIONAL_VALUE')); // null
var_dump(Env::get('EMPTY_VALUE')); // ""
echo Env::get('SSR_URL'); // http://localhost:3000
echo Env::get('NOT_DEFINED', 'default'); // "default"

✨ Features
