Jinsi ya Kutengeneza Environment-Specific Config Files

Environment-specific config files zinakusaidia kudhibiti settings tofauti kwa development, staging, na production. Hii inaruhusu kutumia database, API keys, au error reporting tofauti kwa kila environment bila kubadilisha codebase.

Mfano wa Folder Structure:

config/
├─ config.php
├─ config.dev.php
├─ config.staging.php
└─ config.prod.php


config.php (Main Loader):

<?php
// Weka environment yako (dev, staging, prod)
$env = getenv('APP_ENV') ?: 'dev';

// Load config file kulingana na environment
switch($env){
case 'dev':
require 'config.dev.php';
break;
case 'staging':
require 'config.staging.php';
break;
case 'prod':
require 'config.prod.php';
break;
default:
throw new Exception("Unknown environment: $env");
}


config.dev.php (Development Settings):

<?php
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASS', '');
define('DB_NAME', 'myapp_dev');

define('DEBUG', true);


config.prod.php (Production Settings):

<?php
define('DB_HOST', 'prod-db-server');
define('DB_USER', 'prod_user');
define('DB_PASS', 'securepassword');
define('DB_NAME', 'myapp_prod');

define('DEBUG', false);


Ufafanuzi:

APP_ENV inaweza kuwekwa kwenye server .env file au environment variable.

Code inabakia ile ile kwenye kila environment; unabadilisha tu config file.

Hii inapunguza risk ya accidentally kutumia production database kwenye development.
