Example 1: what is app_env in laravel

Laravel 5 uses .env file to configure your app. .env should not be committed on your repository, like github or bitbucket. On your local environment your .env will look like the following:

# .env
APP_ENV=local
For your production server, you might have the following config:

# .env
APP_ENV=production

dd(env('APP_NAME'));

if (\Illuminate\Support\Facades\App::environment('production')) {
    // The environment is production
}
