Statamic Environment Indicator

Visual environment indicators for the Statamic control panel, instantly see whether you're working in Local, Staging, or Production.

The addon adds a colored badge and background pattern to the CP header, plus a dashboard widget with environment details, so you never push the wrong button in the wrong environment again.

Features

• Header Badge: Shows the current environment name in the CP header (Local, Staging, Production)
• Header Background Patterns: Distinct header patterns per environment (stripes, dots, checkerboard, solid)
• Dashboard Widget: Built with native Statamic UI components, with full dark-mode support
• Highly Configurable: Custom environment types, labels, icons, colors, and patterns
• Translation Ready: Full i18n support with publishable language files
• Auto-Regenerating CSS: Edits to the config apply automatically, no build step

Compatibility

Addon version	Statamic	PHP	Laravel
2.x (this version)	6.0+	8.3+	12.0+
1.x	5.0+	8.1+	10 / 11

Installing on Statamic 5? Require ^1.0 instead. See Upgrading from 1.x.

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require mikomagni/statamic-environment

Composer automatically resolves the correct release for your Statamic version (2.x for Statamic 6, 1.x for Statamic 5).

The config file is published automatically on install. To (re)publish it manually:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=statamic-env-config

Enable the Widget

Add the widget to your control panel in config/statamic/cp.php:

'widgets' => [
    [
        'type' => 'statamic_env',
        'width' => 100,
    ],
    // ... other widgets
],

Configuration

All configuration lives in config/statamic_environment.php.

Environment Types

Map your APP_ENV values to environment types. The keys are your type names; the arrays list the APP_ENV values that resolve to each type:

'environments' => [
    'local' => ['local'],
    'staging' => ['staging', 'dev'],
    'production' => ['production', 'prod', 'live'],
],

An APP_ENV that doesn't match any type resolves to undefined, which triggers a warning in the widget and the undefined icon.

Labels & Icons

Customize the display text and emoji per type:

'labels' => [
    'local' => 'Local',
    'staging' => 'Staging',
    'production' => 'Live',
],

'icons' => [
    'local' => '👨‍💻',
    'staging' => '🔥',
    'production' => '🚀',
    'undefined' => '🚨',
],

Badge Colors

Style the header badge per type. border is optional:

'colors' => [
    'local' => [
        'background' => 'rgba(39, 145, 16, 0.6)',
        'color' => 'white',
        'border' => '1px solid rgba(39, 145, 16, 1)',
    ],
    'staging' => [
        'background' => 'rgba(153, 0, 0, 0.6)',
        'color' => 'white',
        'border' => '1px solid rgba(153, 0, 0, 1)',
    ],
    'production' => [
        'background' => 'transparent',
        'color' => 'white',
        'border' => '1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)',
    ],
],

Widget Details

Control when the widget shows the detailed environment table:

'widget' => [
    'show_details' => ['local', 'staging'], // Show only for these types
    // 'show_details' => true,              // Always show
    // 'show_details' => false,             // Never show
],

Accepted values:

• Array: show details only for the listed environment types, e.g. ['local', 'staging']
• true: always show details
• false: never show details

When enabled, the table reports: APP_NAME, APP_ENV, APP_DEBUG, APP_URL, MAIL_MAILER, MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS, STATAMIC_GIT_ENABLED, STATAMIC_GIT_PUSH, STATAMIC_STATIC_CACHING_STRATEGY, and DEBUGBAR_ENABLED.

Background Patterns

Give each environment a distinct CP header pattern. Colors are defined directly with primary and secondary keys:

'patterns' => [
    'local' => [
        'type' => 'stripes',
        'angle' => -45,
        'primary' => 'transparent',
        'secondary' => 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6)',
    ],
    'staging' => [
        'type' => 'stripes',
        'angle' => -45,
        'primary' => 'transparent',
        'secondary' => 'rgba(255, 112, 163, 0.2)',
    ],
    'production' => [
        'type' => 'solid',
        'primary' => 'transparent',
    ],
],

Note: The Statamic 6 CP header is always dark, so patterns use flat primary/secondary keys, with no light_mode/dark_mode nesting. The old nested format from 1.x is still read for backward compatibility, but the simplified format is recommended.

Pattern Types

Stripes: diagonal repeating lines:

'type' => 'stripes',
'angle' => -45,             // Angle in degrees (default: -55)
'size' => 10,              // Stripe width in pixels (default: 10)
'primary' => 'transparent', // Background color
'secondary' => 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6)', // Stripe color

Dots: polka-dot pattern:

'type' => 'dots',
'size' => '4px',            // Dot size (default: 4px)
'spacing' => '20px',        // Space between dots (default: 20px)
'primary' => '#1a1a1a',     // Background color
'secondary' => '#ff4757',   // Dot color

Checkerboard:

'type' => 'checkerboard',
'size' => 20,               // Square size in pixels (default: 20)
'primary' => '#1a1a1a',     // Background color
'secondary' => '#ffab00',   // Checkerboard color

Solid: plain color (only needs primary):

'type' => 'solid',
'primary' => 'transparent',

Custom Environment Types

Type names are fully customizable, so you're not limited to local/staging/production. Define your own and provide matching labels, icons, colors, and patterns:

return [
    'environments' => [
        'development' => ['local', 'dev'],
        'testing' => ['test', 'qa', 'staging'],
        'live' => ['production', 'prod'],
        'uat' => ['uat', 'acceptance'],
    ],

    'labels' => [
        'development' => 'Dev',
        'testing' => 'Test',
        'live' => 'Production',
        'uat' => 'UAT',
    ],

    'icons' => [
        'development' => '🛠️',
        'testing' => '🧪',
        'live' => '🚀',
        'uat' => '✅',
        'undefined' => '🚨',
    ],

    'colors' => [
        'development' => [
            'background' => 'rgb(0, 123, 255)',
            'color' => 'white',
        ],
        'testing' => [
            'background' => 'rgb(255, 193, 7)',
            'color' => 'black',
        ],
        'live' => [
            'background' => 'rgb(40, 167, 69)',
            'color' => 'white',
        ],
        'uat' => [
            'background' => 'rgb(108, 117, 125)',
            'color' => 'white',
        ],
    ],

    'patterns' => [
        'development' => [
            'type' => 'stripes',
            'angle' => -55,
            'primary' => '#1a1a1a',
            'secondary' => 'rgba(0, 123, 255, 0.3)',
        ],
        'testing' => [
            'type' => 'dots',
            'size' => '5px',
            'spacing' => '15px',
            'primary' => '#1a1a1a',
            'secondary' => 'rgba(255, 193, 7, 0.4)',
        ],
        'live' => [
            'type' => 'solid',
            'primary' => '#1a1a1a',
        ],
        'uat' => [
            'type' => 'checkerboard',
            'size' => 15,
            'primary' => '#1a1a1a',
            'secondary' => 'rgba(108, 117, 125, 0.3)',
        ],
    ],
];

How It Works

• A CP middleware adds env_{APP_ENV} and env_type_{type} classes to the <body> tag.
• The addon generates a dynamic stylesheet from your config and registers it with the CP. The header badge and background patterns are pure CSS keyed off those body classes.
• The CSS is regenerated automatically whenever the config file changes, no asset compilation or npm step required.

Translation Support

All widget text is translatable and follows Laravel's localization conventions. To customize translations, publish the language files:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=statamic-env-lang

This copies the files to resources/lang/vendor/statamic-environment/, where you can:

• Add new languages by creating a locale folder (e.g. es, fr, de)
• Edit the English strings in en/widget.php

Available Translation Keys

• viewing_version: main status message shown in the widget
• unusual_env_detected: warning for unrecognized environments
• app_name, app_env, app_debug, app_url, mail_mailer, mail_from_address, statamic_git_enabled, statamic_git_push: detail table labels
• true, false: boolean values

Upgrading from 1.x

Version 2.0 targets Statamic 6 and raises the minimum platform requirements:

• Statamic 6.0+, PHP 8.3+, Laravel 12.0+
• The dashboard widget was rebuilt with native Statamic 6 UI components (full dark-mode support).
• Widget configuration is simplified to a single show_details option. The old always_show_details / never_show_details flags are removed. Use 'show_details' => true or false instead.
• Pattern colors use flat primary/secondary keys instead of light_mode/dark_mode nesting (the old format still works, but updating is recommended).

To upgrade, require the new version and run composer update:

composer require mikomagni/statamic-environment:^2.0
composer update mikomagni/statamic-environment

Staying on Statamic 5? Pin to the 1.x line, which remains installable but is no longer actively maintained:

composer require mikomagni/statamic-environment:^1.0
