Config

A PHP utility that creates a configuration object from multi file, cross-referencing php array maps or yaml files

Why this package is helpful?

This package will allow you to build a config object, that you can simply retrieve values from. You manage configuration across multiple PHP or YAML files, with the ability to cross-reference properties in order to build up complex values.

Install

You can install this package via composer:

composer require myerscode/config

Usage

Creating a Config Store

To get started ll you need to do is you need to create a Config instance and start loading data into files into it.

$config = new Config();

$config->loadFiles([
'config/app.php',
'config/db.yaml',
]);

$config->loadFile('config/cache.php');

$config->loadData(['api_key' => 'abc123']);

// example config object
[
    'name' => 'myerscode',
    'db_name' => 'myerscode_db',
    'api_key' => 'abc123',
]

Namespaced Configuration

By default, config from files will be merged recursivly when loaded in. If you want to give each file a top level namespace call the loadFilesWithNamespace and loadFileWithNamespace methods to have each file be loaded into a namespace using their filename

$config = new Config();

$config->loadFilesWithNamespace([
'config/app.php',
'config/db.yaml',
]);

$config->loadFileWithNamespace('config/cache.php');

// example config object
[
    'app' => [...],
    'db' => [...],
    'cache' => [...],
]

Retrieving a value

Retrieve a single value from the store by using the value method and passing in a key.

Using dot notation you can access deep values of a config element, or retrieve the entire object by calling its top level namespace.

$config->value('app.name');

$config->value('app');

$config->value('api_key');

Get all store value

Get all the values from the store as an array using the values method.

$config->values();

Accessing the store

Accessing the values directly is done by calling the store method.

$store = $config->store();

Config Syntax

A basic config file, is a PHP file that will just return an array or a YAML file.

// app.config.php
return [
    'name' => 'Fred Myerscough',
    'settings' => [
        'a',
        'b',
        'c'
    ],
];

Cross Referencing Values

// app.config.php
return [
    'name' => 'myerscode',
    'env' => 'myerscode',
];

// db.config.php
return [
    'db' => [
        'setting' => [
            'name' => '${env}_${name}_db',
        ]
    ],
    'db_name' => '${db.config.name}'
];
