pytonik .env file contains properties with parameters that enable the deployment and development of web application using pytonik frame work. pytonik MVC cannot run or function without setting all necessary parameters.

• route

route set all default method for reused purposes, either to pass on parameters or revoking controller, below is the illustration, we'll be using ContactController

'route':
        {
         'contact/edit' : 'ContactController@edit',
         'contact/add' : 'ContactController@add'
        }

Define default language

'default_languages':'en'

Note: edit and add are functions in ContactController module

dbConnect set all Database connection parameters, configure pytonik to work with MYSQL database, parameters are required to enable database to function probably

'dbConnect':
         {
              'host': 'localhost',
              'database': 'pytonik-database',
              'password': 'database-password',
              'username': 'database-username',
              'port': 'database-port',
              'driver': 'MYSQL'
         }

MYSQLi requires mysql-connector-python module

$ pip install mysql-connector-python

'dbConnect':
         {

              'name': 'database-file-name',
