I’m trying out the PHP micro Framework Lumen (from Laravel).

• Php Artisan App Key
• Php Artisan Generate Key
• Php Artisan Key Generate

One of my first steps was to look into the .env.example file and make a copy of it to have my .env file. There is a variable APP_KEY just like there is in Laravel. Now I tried out the simple command php artisan key:generate to get my new key But I ran into the following error message

Feb 26, 2019  Contribute to laravel/laravel development by creating an account on GitHub. Laravel / config / app.php / Jump to. Code definitions. No definitions found in this file. This URL is used by the console to properly generate URLs when using the Artisan command line tool. You should set this to the root of. You can generate a key by the following command: php artisan key:generate The key will be written automatically in your.env file. APPKEY=YOURGENERATEDKEY If you want to see your key after generation use -show option. Php artisan key:generate -show Note: The.env is a hidden file in your project folder. Sep 17, 2018 To create a new key, you could generate one yourself and paste it into your.env, or you can run php artisan key:generate to have Laravel create and insert one automatically for you. Once your app is running, there's one place it uses the APPKEY: cookies. Laravel uses the key for all encrypted cookies, including the session cookie, before handing them off to the user's browser, and it uses it to decrypt cookies read from the browser. Nov 11, 2017 The key generated by typing a command which is executed as follows: php artisan key:generate. So, the command itself will sets the APPKEY value in your.env file.

[InvalidArgumentException]There are no commands defined in the 'key' namespace.

3. Php artisan migrate. Next, you should run the passport:install command. This command will create the encryption keys needed to generate secure access tokens. In addition, the command will create 'personal access' and 'password grant' clients which will be used to generate access tokens: php artisan passport:install.

Does some one know how I can generate keys for Lumen?

Update with solution

Php Artisan App Key

So I found my favorite solution for this problem. On the command line (Linux) I run php -r 'echo md5(uniqid()).'n';' what gives me something like this 7142720170cef01171fd4af26ef17c93.

If you are going to use Lumen more often, you may want to create an alias in your .bashrc, which is located in your home directory /home/USERNAME. To do so, you can open the file with nano ~/.bashrc or vi ~/.bashrc and copy the following alias at the end of the file, alias phpkey='php -r 'echo md5(uniqid()).'n';'. Now you can use the command phpkey which will give you a 32 character long random string 🙂

The Laravel command is fairly simple. It just generates a random 32 character long string. You can do the same in Lumen. Just temporarily add a route like this:

Then go to /key in your browser and copy paste the key into your .env file.
Afterwards remove the route.

Obviously you could also use some random string generator online. Like this one

Firstly, you have to register your key generator command, put this Lumen Key Generator Commands to app/Console/Commands/KeyGenerateCommand.php. To make this command available in artisan, change appConsoleKernel.php:

After that, configure your application so that IlluminateConfigRepository instance has app.key value. To do this, change bootstrap/app.php:

After that, copy your .env.example file to .env:

Ignore this step if you already use .env file.

Enjoy you key:generate command via: Office 2014 product key generator.

Edit

You may use Lumen Generator. It covers so much commands you are missing from Laravel.

An easy solution is just running PHP code from the terminal (without using tinker, because that is not available with Lumen):

It uses Laravel’s Str::random() function that makes use of the secure random_bytes() function.

The APP_KEY generation is a step of development process (I don’t think that creating temporarily routes is a practical way to do it). The function str_random can help us, but this function is part of Laravel/Lunmen framework.
I recommend running tinker

php artisan tinker

and then run the function

>>> str_random(32)

The result is the key you’re looking for.

=> 'y3DLxnEczGWGN4CKUdk1S5GbMumU2dfH'

For me the easiest way to generate a Lumen key is typing on console one of these commands:

or

openssl rand -base64 24

depending of your environment. In my case, I aways use date md5 on mac

This answer was inspired by @thomas-venturini ‘s update to the question. Here’s a bash script that takes care of creating .env and updating it with an APP_KEY using the aforementioned PHP command and the UNIX sed command:
