Configuring Eseye

Configuring Eseye

Configuration for Eseye follows a singleton pattern, meaning that there can only ever exist one instance of the Configuration class in the lifetime of a php process.

configuration flow

Generally, you will want to get the Configuration class and set any settings you want before instantiating a new Eseye instance.

getting the singleton

Getting access to the configuration singleton is as easy as:

$configuration = \Seat\Eseye\Configuration::getInstance();

Thats it. You can now set settings by simply setting properties (invoking the __set() method under the hood). For a reference on what the defaults are for Eseye, see this source file: https://github.com/eveseat/eseye/blob/master/src/Containers/EsiConfiguration.php
