Setting the CDN URL

The cdn helper method will need to know the URL of the CDN. Let's set an CDN_URL environment variable that will be assigned the zone URL for Vuebnb, minus the protocol prefix.

While we're at it, let's add another variable, CDN_BYPASS, that can be used to bypass the CDN in our local development environment where we won't need it.

.env:

...

CDN_URL=vuebnb-9c0f.kxcdn.com
CDN_BYPASS=0

Let's now register these new variables in the app configuration file.

config/app.php:

<?php

return [
  ...
  // CDN

  'cdn' => [
    'url' => env('CDN_URL'),
    'bypass' => env('CDN_BYPASS', false),
  ],
];

Now we can complete the logic of our cdn helper.

app/helpers.php:

<?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Config; if (!function_exists('cdn')) { function cdn($asset) ...
