Suppress or hide the environment variables from error message screen

Some time when an error message is generated from Laravel application, it will contain sensitive data such as the database credentials, SMTP credentials and others. Top stop showing such sensitive data, add the following to your config/app.php

 

    /* My code to hide debug environment variables */

    "debug_blacklist"=>[

        /* '_ENV' => [

            'APP_KEY',

            'DB_PASSWORD',

            'REDIS_PASSWORD',

            'MAIL_PASSWORD',

            'PUSHER_APP_KEY',

            'PUSHER_APP_SECRET',

        ],

        '_SERVER' => [

            'APP_KEY',

            'DB_PASSWORD',

            'REDIS_PASSWORD',

            'MAIL_PASSWORD',

            'PUSHER_APP_KEY',

            'PUSHER_APP_SECRET',

        ],

        '_POST' => [

            'password',

        ],

        */

        '_COOKIE' => array_keys($_COOKIE),

        '_SERVER' => array_keys($_SERVER),

        '_ENV'    => array_keys($_ENV),

    ],
