• return string Environment type.

Determines whether the environment is local.

• return bool Environment is local.

Determines whether the environment is development.

• return bool Environment is dev.

Determines whether the environment is staging.

• return bool Environment is staging.

Determines whether the environment is production.

• return bool Environment is production.

Determines whether the environment is local or development.

This assumes that actual development happens on either "local" or "development" environments. For "staging", this should only be testing.

• return bool Environment is "dev"-level

Determines whether the environment is anything other than production.

In this context, "testing" is considered the direct opposite of "live". In practice, this covers everything but production.

• return bool Environment is "testing".

Determines whether the environment is production.

In this context, the only type of "live" environment recognised is production. Every other environment is classified as testing.

• return bool Environment is "live".
