config()

You may access configuration values using the config() helper function. It returns the current value from the configuration store.

The following example will output the value currently stored in app.locale.

{{ config('app.locale') }}

The above is the PHP equivalent of the following:

<?= Config::get('app.locale') ?>

env()

As companion function called env() can be used to access environment variables.

The following example would output the value currently stored in APP_ENV environment variable. Second argument is default value, when ENV key does not exists.

{{ env('APP_ENV', 'production') }}

The above is the PHP equivalent of the following:

<?= env('APP_ENV', 'production') ?>

The config() and env() functions are not available when safe mode is enabled.
