This package let's you load env files on a tier based setup. You can have the following files depending on you environments:
.env .env.dist .env.dev .env.test .env.staging .env.production .env.local
The .env.local should have at least a APP_ENV=dev file in order for the package to fetch the correct dev env file for you local development environment.
Furthermore you have to create a bootstrap.php file in your config folder in order to call the EnvironmentVars class. And put this in your bootstrap.php:
require dirname(__DIR__).'/vendor/autoload.php';
use Kennisnet\DTO\AppEnv;
use Kennisnet\Env\EnvironmentVars;
$basePath = dirname(__DIR__);
EnvironmentVars::setAppEnvClassName(AppEnv::class);
EnvironmentVars::loadEnv($basePath);
Lastly replace the autoload.php line with bootstrap.php in your public/index.php file
Here is a example:
public/index.php
require dirname(__DIR__).'/config/bootstrap.php';
