In this article I want to show you the best practices of configuring your Laravel application. Laravel uses https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv to set up the configuration of your application.

Think of stuff like usernames, passwords and API tokens that you don't want to upload to your public repository. You don't add this file to your repository, the whole point is that you keep it private.

So, now that your configuration is set up it is time to use these values in your application code.
