Download the PHP package kpacha/config without Composer

config

A simple config module integrated with some service discovery system clients for php

This project is an abstraction of the initial versions of suricate-config.

Requirements

• git
• PHP >=5.3.3

Optional dependencies (depending on your service discovering flavour)

• suricate-config
• consul-config

(so check their dependencies!)

Installation

Standalone

As a library (recomended)

Include the kpacha/sconfig package in your compose.json with all the dependencies of your project

"require":{
    "kpacha/config": "~0.1"
}

Git installation

Clone the repo

$ git clone https://github.com/kpacha/config.git

Install the php dependencies

$ cd config
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar install

and add one of the recommended dependencies

$ php composer.phar require kpacha/suricate-config

Composer installation

Create a project with composer

$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar create-project kpacha/config [directory]

and add one of the recommended dependencies

$ cd [directory]
$ php composer.phar require kpacha/suricate-config

Remeber to set the [directory] parameter or composer will create the project in your current path.

Config files

Note that config expects to find all your config files in a single dir. Currently, yaml is the only supported format for config files.

Also, you should keep in mind those rules:

• All parsed config files will be cached in a single native php config file called config_file.php.
• Every parsed config file will be stored in an array, indexed by its basename.
• The config module uses the Symfony\Component\Config\ConfigCache class to manage the cached configuration, so it will create a .meta file with some info about the cached files.
• The config module expects to find a config file called suricate_services.yml with some required info (check the tests/fixtures dir for an example)
• The service manager will create a config file called services_solved.ymlfile. Please, do not play with it.

services.yml

The required fields are:

• service-manager: the class of the service manager to handle the discovering tool (suricate or consul)
• server: the url of the suricate server or the consul agent
• service-names: the list of services to watch
• default: the default configuration to use when the suricate server is not reachable

Usage

Config module

Create a Kpacha\Config\Configuration object.

use Kpacha\Config\Configuration;
$configuration = new Configuration('/path/to/your/config/folder', true);

And you're ready to go! Just ask for your config data whenever you need it.

$someModuleConfig = $configuration->get('some-module');

try{
    $configuration->get('unknown-module'); // unknown-module.yml does not exist
} catch(\Exception $e){
   // do something
}

Console

The config packages exposes a clean CLI interface so you could add a cron to update the service info querying the service discovering server/agent for the services listed in the service-name area of your services.yml file with

$ bin/config c:u /path/to/config/dir

Run the config script to trigger any console command.
