Answer 1

you can use the use_env_variable for development too. you already seem to be using dotenv, so im assuming you have a .env file already setup. just add this line to it:

LOCALDB=mysql://[user]:[pass]@[sqldomain]/[db name]

replace the stuff in [] as necessary, and in your config file set "use_env_variable" to LOCALDB, just like how you have JAWSDB for production.
