berbeflo/Config

This library offers a simple interface for the access of config arrays. While there are a lot of fantastic libraries out there that provide similar functionality, most of them are far more complex as I need them.

Installation

clone [email protected]:berbeflo/Config.git
composer install [--no-dev]

The Config class

This class receives an array from a given file. The access via the method get happens via a dot-separated array path. E.g: get('database.host') will return 'localhost'. This method's second parameter is the value to return if the given config path isn't set.

Example

# file /config/path/database.php
return [
    'database' => [
        'host' => 'localhost',
        'user' => 'root',
        'password' => 'root',
        'database' => 'dontusedefaultpasswords'
    ]
];

use berbeflo\Config\Config;
$databaseConfig = new Config('/config/path/database.php');
$databaseConfig->get('database.host'); // -> 'localhost'
$databaseConfig->get('database.port'); // --> null
$databaseConfig->get('database.port', 3306); // -> 3306
$databaseConfig->getAll(); // ['database' => ['host' => 'localhost', ...]]

The ConfigRepository

This is a static interface for the access to multiple configuration files. With the method addSearchPath you can add a directory, which contains config files.

The method add awaits a filename (without extension). The repository then searches for the given filename inside of the given search paths. The files should have the extension .php.

Access to the config data is similar to accessing the Config objects directly. But the first part of the path has to be the filename, where the config has to be.

Example

# file /config/path/1/database.php
return [
    'database' => [
        'host' => 'localhost',
        'user' => 'root',
        'password' => 'root',
        'database' => 'dontusedefaultpasswords'
    ]
];

# file /config/path/2/log.php
return [
    'level' => 'debug'
];

use berbeflo\Config\ConfigRepository;

ConfigRepository::addSearchPath('/config/path/1/');
ConfigRepository::addSearchPath('/config/path/2/');
ConfigRepository::add('database');
ConfigRepository::add('log');

ConfigRepository::get('log'); // --> ['level' => 'debug']
ConfigRepository::get('log.level'); // --> 'debug'
ConfigRepository::get('log.file'); // --> null
ConfigRepository::get('log.file', 'log.txt'); // --> 'log.txt'
