madhusoodhananer wants to merge 1 commit into laravel:12.x from madhusoodhananer:add-app-timezone-env

madhusoodhananer commented Jul 15, 2025

This PR adds support for configuring the application timezone via an APP_TIMEZONE environment variable.

Changes

Added APP_TIMEZONE=UTC to .env.example
Modified config/app.php to use env('APP_TIMEZONE', 'UTC') instead of hardcoded 'UTC'

Benefits

Allows applications to easily configure timezone via environment variables
Maintains backward compatibility with UTC as the default
Follows Laravel's convention of making configuration environment-driven
Useful for applications deployed across different timezones

Testing

Existing functionality remains unchanged when APP_TIMEZONE is not set
When APP_TIMEZONE is set, the application uses the specified timezone


          Add APP_TIMEZONE environment variable

2ff99df

Allow application timezone to be configured via APP_TIMEZONE environment variable while maintaining UTC as the default fallback.
