Latest

4.0.0 (2020-11-24): Updating to more >= 8.1.0 compatible.

Features:

• Multi-file configuration loading, no more monolithic configurations!
• Self referencing placeholders. @[X.Y.Z]
• Recursive self referencing placeholders. @[@[X.Y.Z].SOME_KEY]
• Environment variable placeholders. $[ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE_NAME] (PHP likes ${YOUR_TEXT_HERE} a little too much...)
• Can use INI, JSON, YAML and Array files.
• Immutability, since you shouldn't change your configuration during run time.
• Can inject values, to make things really dynamic.

Installation:

composer require geeklab/conf

Usage:

Basic:

// Where the configurations are.
$configurationDirectory = __DIR__ . '/config/';

// Load Configuration system with the JSON Configuration Driver 
$configuration = new GLConf(
    new JSONConfDriver(
        $configurationDirectory . 'system.json',  // Path and file name of main (top level) configuration.
        $configurationDirectory                   // Path to the other configuration files. 
    ),
    ['mySecretKey' => md5(rand())],                // Value injections.
    ['keys_to_lower']                              // Options:
                                                   //  Options to change the case of the key if returning a keyed array:    
                                                   //  keys_upper_case, keys_lower_case, keys_same_case
);

$configuration->init();

// Get the whole configuration.
var_export($configuration->getAll());

// Get one item.
var_export($configuration->get('space_pants.look_at_my'));
