[ngarawakimani]

so you guys want to store configs in a database?

[mossey]

On it guys. I Will add this option

I second you on this. They should just do away with the .env file. I have to edit their repository before i use it. Please work on this

why do you have to edit the repo? just create a .env file and paste your mpesa configs there.

[Davisonpro]

I agree with that. The problem comes when you have to explain this to a client who wants things done and he/she understands nothing about accessing and editing files on a server. It would be better if I just add a section to edit the configuration on their website and for Mpesa SDK to pull the configuration from the database. And using the env method will not support that

It's a design practice for sdks.

[Davisonpro]

Not necessarily. I think it would be great if you you went with @Nickbahson option

[josiahke]

the best way is to add a config that can override the default env

[Nickbahson]

@josiahke , you don't have to override the default .env file unless you have to.
