Config in subdirectory

The old Laravel 4 system of overriding config based on development environment is no longer functional, it was removed in Laravel 5 because it was incredibly slow. If you want to change the values of certain config options, you need to use environment variables which are stored in the .env file. See config/app.php for some examples

Alternatively, if you want to use subdirectories for additional config: I've never done it with config, but for language files this worked for me in the past: Lang::get('path/to/dir/file.key.subkey');

@Elimentz Thanks for the reply!

Just in case someone need it. This is the way I was able to do it:

Step 1 - Create the sub directory under config/ for example validator

Step 2 - Create the configuration files: messages.php, rules.php

config
└── validator
    ├── messages.php
    └── rules.php

Step 3 - Enable the configuration files under bootsrap/app.php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Register Custom Configuration
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Register custom configuration files that are under config/
|
*/
$app->configure('validator/messages');
$app->configure('validator/rules');

/**/
$app->router->group([
    'namespace' => 'App\Http\Controllers',
], function ($router) {
    require __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php';
});

return $app;

Step 4 - Get the configuration

config('validator/rules.key');
