Best place to store app-specific conf files in Laravel

Question

I have some price lists that I can write, for easy maintenance, as arrays and use as a conf file, one per year.

I just wonder what would be the best place, semantically, to store these files :

• conf/prices/.php
• storage/app/prices/.php

Thanks for your advices

Configuration files live in the /config directory. In your case, you can create a file at config/prices.php, and access it using the global config helper.

Given the following prices.php config file:

<?php

return [
    'cat' => 30,
    'dog' => 20,
    'owl' => 10
];

You can access the price of a cat using config('prices.cat').
