App:environment is returning a blank page on Laravel

Question

I want to check what environment the application is in, and then declare a specific binary config.

The file is located within the /config/ folder.

At the moment, this is what I have:

<?php

if (App::environment('local')) {

    return array(

    'pdf' => array(
        'enabled' => true,
        'binary' => base_path('vendor/profburial/wkhtmltopdf-binaries-osx/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64-osx'),
        'timeout' => false,
        'options' => array(),
        'env'     => array(),
    ),

} else {
    // The environment is production
}

);

But it's returning an error (blank page).

How can I inherit the App class to use it?

Thank you.

<?php

if (env('APP_ENV') == 'local')
{
    return array (
        'pdf' => array(
            'enabled' => true,
            'binary' => base_path('vendor/profburial/wkhtmltopdf-binaries-osx/bin/wkhtmltopdf-amd64-osx'),
            'timeout' => false,
            'options' => array(),
            'env'     => array(),
        ) 
    );
} else {
   // Not local environment...
}
