Laravel Artisan Docker workaround

If you use docker for your local development your database configuration in your .env might look like this:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=mysql
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=databasename
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=password

If you want to use artisan you have to go into your docker container.

But you can add the following lines at the top of your app/database.php file:

if (php_sapi_name() == 'cli' && getenv('APP_ENV') == 'local') {
    putenv('DB_HOST=127.0.0.1');
}

Now you can use artisan on your local machine without breaking your docker environment.
