On config/database.php:

'mysql' => [
            'driver' => 'mysql',
            'host' => env('DB_HOST'),
            'unix_socket' => env('UNIX_SOCKET'),
            'port' => env('DB_PORT'),
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE'),
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME'),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD'),
            'charset' => 'utf8',
            'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
            'prefix' => '',
            'strict' => false,
            'engine' => null,
        ],

On .env:

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=mytable
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=1234
UNIX_SOCKET=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock
