Introduction
All of the configuration files are stored in the config directory.
Environment Configuration
The root directory of your application will contain a .env.example file. If you install Laravel via Composer, this file will automatically be renamed to .env. Otherwise, you should rename the file manually.
Environment Variable Types
All variables in your .env files are parsed as strings, If you need to define an environment variable with a value that contains spaces, you may do so by enclosing the value in double quotes.
APP_NAME="My Application"
Accessing Configuration Values
You may easily access your configuration values using the global config helper function from anywhere in your application.
$value = config('app.timezone');
