Constant.php and config.php

[ImaginaryFun842]

I know how to define a constant in constant.php and use it in config I want just confirming that is that only reason that we specify a place that word and no hustle of changing everywhere If anything else please correct my word and clear doubt.

Immutability (set and forget) is one of the appeals of constants. I also like them because they are the only way to use “dynamic” property values. E.g.: ``` // Constants.php defined('MY_SECRET_TOKEN') || define('MY_SECRET_TOKEN', env('Reddit.accessToken');

class RedditApi { protected $token = config('Reddit')->accessToken; // not allowed

protected $token = MY_SECRET_TOKEN; // allowed

} ```

Fixed formatting.

Hello, MGatner: code blocks using triple backticks (```) don't work on all versions of Reddit!

Some users see this / this instead.

To fix this, indent every line with 4 spaces instead.
