Installation

1. Install the package via Composer:

2. Publish the package resources:

4. (Optional) Add CSRF token meta tag to your layout if not already present:

<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

Configuration

The configuration file is published to config/env-profile-manager.php. Here are the available options:

return [
    // Web route prefix
    'route_prefix' => 'env-profile-manager',
    
    // API route prefix
    'api_prefix' => 'api/env-profile-manager',
    
    // Middleware for web routes
    'middleware' => ['web', 'auth'],
    
    // Middleware for API routes
    'api_middleware' => ['api', 'auth:sanctum'],
    
    // Layout to extend for views
    // Set to null to use the package's default layout
    // Example: 'layouts.app' to use your application's layout
    'layout' => 'env-profile-manager::layouts.default',
    
    // Maximum number of .env backups to keep
    'max_backups' => 10,
    
    // Enable/disable features
    'features' => [
        'api' => true,
        'web_ui' => true,
        'backups' => true,
    ],
];

Usage

Web Interface

After installation, navigate to /env-profile-manager (or your configured route prefix) to access the web interface.

Features available in the web interface:

• View and edit current .env configuration
• Create new profiles from current configuration
• Load saved profiles
• Activate profiles (overwrites current .env)
• Delete profiles
• Real-time syntax highlighting with Monaco Editor

API Endpoints

If API is enabled in configuration, the following endpoints are available:

• GET /api/env-profile-manager - List all profiles and current .env content
• POST /api/env-profile-manager - Create a new profile
• GET /api/env-profile-manager/{id} - Get a specific profile
• PUT /api/env-profile-manager/{id} - Update a profile
• DELETE /api/env-profile-manager/{id} - Delete a profile
• POST /api/env-profile-manager/{id}/activate - Activate a profile
• GET /api/env-profile-manager/current-env - Get current .env content
• PUT /api/env-profile-manager/current-env - Update current .env content

Programmatic Usage

You can also use the package programmatically:

use LaravelReady\EnvProfiles\Models\EnvProfile;
use LaravelReady\EnvProfiles\Services\EnvFileService;

// Create a new profile
$profile = EnvProfile::create([
    'name' => 'Production',
    'app_name' => 'My Laravel App',
    'content' => file_get_contents(base_path('.env.production')),
]);

// Activate a profile
$profile->activate();

// Use the EnvFileService
$envService = app(EnvFileService::class);
$currentEnv = $envService->read();
$envService->write($newContent);

Security Considerations

1. Protect Routes: The package uses middleware configuration to protect routes. Make sure to configure appropriate middleware.

2. Sensitive Data: Be careful when storing sensitive data in profiles. Consider encrypting sensitive values.

3. Backups: The package automatically creates backups before modifying .env files. Configure max_backups to control disk usage.

Customization

Views

To customize the views, publish them and edit as needed:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=env-profile-manager-views

Views will be published to resources/views/vendor/env-profile-manager/.

Extending the Layout

By default, the package uses its own layout (env-profile-manager::layouts.default). You can use your application's layout by changing the configuration:

'layout' => 'layouts.app',

Or set it to null to use the package's default layout:

'layout' => null,

If using a custom layout, make sure it has a @yield('content') section and includes the necessary @stack('styles') and @stack('scripts') directives.

Troubleshooting

Monaco Editor Not Loading

Make sure your layout includes the style and script stacks:

@stack('styles')
@stack('scripts')

CSRF Token Errors

Ensure your layout includes the CSRF token meta tag:

<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

Permission Denied Errors

Check that the web server has write permissions for:

• The .env file
• The Laravel base directory (for creating backups)
