⚙️ Configuration

Configuration is primarily managed through the .env file (created by copying .env.example). This file contains database credentials, API keys, and other environment-specific settings. Laravel's built-in configuration system is also used, with settings stored within the config directory.

Environment Variables (Example from .env.example)

The .env.example file provides examples of required environment variables. These should be populated in the .env file before running the application. Specific variables and their purpose will depend on the features of this particular application.

🧪 Testing

The project utilizes PHPUnit for testing. Test cases are located in the tests directory. To run tests:

./vendor/bin/phpunit
