Using $LANDO_INFO

Lando will inject an environment variable called $LANDO_INFO into each service. This is a JSON string representation of the lando info command and you can use it to see valuable information about other services such as service hostnames and database connection information and credentials.

This is helpful if you want to set application configuration in a way that is portable and dynamic between many lando apps.

Use internal_connection information!

For services with both external_connection and internal_connection information. ALWAYS use the internal_connection information inside of your application.

Here are some examples of code on how to parse $LANDO_INFO.

Using PHP

php

$info = json_decode(getenv('LANDO_INFO'), TRUE);
print_r($info);

Using Javascript/NodeJS

'use strict';

var info = JSON.parse(process.env.LANDO_INFO);

console.log(info);
