Accessing Configuration
You may easily access your configuration values using the global config
helper function from anywhere in your application. The configuration values may be accessed using "dot" syntax, which includes the name of the file and option you wish to access. A default value may also be specified and will be returned if the configuration option does not exist:
$value = config('app.timezone');
To set configuration values at runtime, pass an array to the config
helper:
config(['app.timezone' => 'America/Chicago']);
