Laravel 5 - Config sub-folder - php

Question

In Laravel 5, we can read a config value via this:
config('app.url')
But, how can we read config file value in the sub-folder? I have tried with config('subfolder/app.url') but it didn't work.

Answer 1

You can do like this in laravel 5 config('subfolder.myfile.var'); subfolder is folder name , myfile is your file name and var is your variable.

Answer 2

I've created: config/local/app.php containing:
<?php
return [
"key" => "value"
];
and using artisan, here's what i got:

Answer 3

Create Folder with name subfolder inside config directory create file app.php
Inside app.php put all your constants
return array(
'APP_URL' => 'http://www.test.com/xyz',
'APP_MAX_FOLDER_SIZE' => 1000000000,
);
and access like
config('subfolder.app.APP_URL');
it is advisable to create constants in Upper case letter and create file name that makes sense like constans.php or appconstants.php etc

Answer 4

for Lumen developers
Just in case someone need it. This is the way I was able to do it:
Step 1 - Create the sub directory under config/ for example validator
Step 2 - Create the configuration files: messages.php, rules.php
config
└── validator
├── messages.php
└── rules.php
Step 3 - Enable the configuration files under bootsrap/app.php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Register Custom Configuration
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Register custom configuration files that are under config/
|
*/
$app->configure('validator/messages');
$app->configure('validator/rules');
/**/
$app->router->group([
'namespace' => 'App\Http\Controllers',
], function ($router) {
require __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php';
});
return $app;
Step 4 - Get the configuration
config('validator/rules.key');
