Environment

Miko Framework provides environment-based configuration for different deployment scenarios.

Environment Variables

Loading .env File

use Miko\Core\Config;

// Environment values are automatically loaded
$dbHost = Config::env('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
$debug = Config::env('APP_DEBUG', false);

Value Type Conversion

Example .env File

# Application
APP_NAME=MyApp
APP_ENV=production
APP_DEBUG=false
APP_URL=https://myapp.com

# Database
DB_DRIVER=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=myapp
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=secret

# JWT Authentication
JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key-min-32-chars
JWT_EXPIRE=3600

# Cache
CACHE_DRIVER=apcu
CACHE_PREFIX=myapp_

# Logging
LOG_LEVEL=error
LOG_MAX_SIZE_MB=5

Environment-Based Configuration

// Check environment
$env = Config::env('APP_ENV', 'production');

if ($env === 'development') {
    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    ini_set('display_errors', 1);
}

// Database based on environment
if ($env === 'testing') {
    $dbConfig = [
        'driver' => 'sqlite',
        'database' => ':memory:'
    ];
} else {
    $dbConfig = [
        'driver' => Config::env('DB_DRIVER', 'mysql'),
        'host' => Config::env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
        'database' => Config::env('DB_DATABASE'),
        'username' => Config::env('DB_USERNAME'),
        'password' => Config::env('DB_PASSWORD')
    ];
}
