Question

I am rather new to laravel. I have a basic question, What is the best way to add constants in laravel. I know the .env method that we use to add the constants. Also I have mad

Answer 1

Your question was about the 'best practices' and you asked about the '.env method'.

.env is only for variables that change because the environment changes. Examples of different environments: test, acceptance, production.

So the .env contains database credentials, API keys, etc.

The .env should (imho) never contain constants which are the same over all environments. Just use the suggested config files for that.
