How to get Laravel env variable in blade

Hey Folks,

So I have the environment variable, AMP_KEY and I want to fetch that in my blade file so that I can initialize the amplitude library.

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=**
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=**
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=**
AWS_BUCKET=**

AMP_KEY=**

And in my blade file, I have this

<meta name="amp_key" content="{{ env('AMP_KEY') }}">


<script>
var amp = document.getElementsByName('amp_key')[0].getAttribute('content');

</script>

The value of amp is empty. What am I doing wrong?

Best, Madhu

Don't use env() anywhere except in your con fig files; once config has been cached, there will be nothing available from .env.

If AMP is a third party service, then put the key into config/services.php:

// config/services.php

<?php

return [
	// ...

	'amp' => [
		'key' => env('AMP_KEY'),
	],

],

Then in the view:

<meta name="amp_key" content="{{ config('services.amp.key') }}">
