Load different service providers based on the environment
In Laravel 12 how can I load different service providers based on the environment?
I think the documentation is lacking on this topic.
So far I've found 3 potential places:
inside the bootstrap/providers.php using app()->environment() BUT in case of "php artisan make:provider" it will be overwritten
inside the config/app.php under the "providers" key BUT I'm not sure if this property is still supported because I can find to reference in the docs, I've just found it looking at the source code
inside the specific service provider calling $this->app->environment() BUT it requires the logic to be replicated in each service provider
You can do that from inside the AppServiceProvider class.
public function register()
{
// Load providers only in local environment
if ($this->app->environment('local')) {
$this->app->register(\App\Providers\LocalOnlyServiceProvider::class);
}
// Load providers only in production
if ($this->app->environment('production')) {
$this->app->register(\App\Providers\ProductionServiceProvider::class);
}
}
