Added APP_LOCALE and APP_TIMEZONE to .env #6346
Conversation
Most of the settings on the **config/app.php** file are customizable from **.env**, but the 'locale' and 'timezone' are not. The modification in the config/app.php file is harmless: it reads an environment variable if it's set, and if not it falls back to the default values that were included anyways. I also modified the .env.example file, adding both variables just in case. Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Fabián Andrés Fuentealba Cartes <chessandrock@gmail.com>

Explaining my use case and giving a little more context: Working in an environment producing software for organizations that work in three different timezones (Chile Continental, Magallanes and Easter Island). Another developer who works here before I did had maintained three forks of each applications and the only difference between these forks is the timezone... which he uses to make adjustments to the date/time fields before consolidating the data at a national level. (Yes, I know it sounds silly). I already made this change in the apps I mentioned but now that I need to write another one, I wondered why is this not a Laravel feature given that everything else on the config/app.php file is coming from an environment variable. |

This is coming in Laravel v11 👍 |
