FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package config
A small config package in PHP
Load config files and set or get values using dot notation for nested arrays.
Install
Clone this repository or use composer to download the latest version:
Usage
Config files structure
Out of the box, the config files can be either a PHP file, returning an array:
or a Json-file (must have the .json extension):
or an ini-file (must have the .ini extension):
Instances
Since all loaded config files are stored within the Config instance used to load the files, you need to use the same Config instance throughtout your application.
There are two ways of getting an instance of the Config class:
- Create a new instance
- Use the Factory
Create a new instance
If you for example have your own factories or are using dependency injection, you might want to create the instance yourself. Here's how
Use the Factory
If you just want to get an instance quickly and can't be bothered creating your own factory or using dependency injection, you can use the factory that's included in the package. It will always return the same instance:
Readers
As described above, this library supports php-, json-, and ini-files out of the box. If you want to read files in some other format, you can add your own reader.
Creating a reader
When you create a reader, it must implement the interface Maer\Config\Readers\ReaderInterface.
Example:
Registering a reader
Before you can use your reader, you need to register it and tell the library for which file extension it should be used.
Let's say we've created a reader for yaml and we want to associate it with the yml-file extension:
If you want to use the same reader for multiple file extensions (let's say we will allow both yml and yaml
as a file extension), register both like we did above and pass the same reader.
You can of course override the default readers for php, ini and json by registering your own reader for those file extensions.
Important: If you want to use your own reader, you must register it before you're trying to load the config file or at the same time, through the constructor.
Note
In case there are conflicts with the names/keys between different config files, the values from the last loaded file will be used.
If you have any questions, suggestions or issues, let me know!
Happy coding!
