Overview

The comphp/config library is designed to simplify the management of configuration files in PHP applications. It leverages dynamic driver loading and custom behaviors to provide a highly adaptable solution for application configuration.

Features

• Supports Multiple Formats: JSON and PHP configurations out of the box.
• Modular & Extensible: Easily register additional parsers.
• Dependency Injection Ready: Works seamlessly with PSR-11 containers.
• Merge Strategies: Replace, merge, or ignore existing configuration values.
• Dot-Notation Access: Retrieve nested configuration values effortlessly.

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require comphp/config

Usage

Initialize ConfigManager

use Neuron\Configuration\ConfigManager;
use DI\ContainerBuilder;

$container = (new ContainerBuilder())->build();
$configManager = new ConfigManager($container);

Load Configuration Files

$configManager->load('database', 'config.json');
$configManager->load('app', 'config.php');

Access Configuration Values

echo $configManager->get('database.host', 'default_host');

Modify Configuration

$configManager->set('cache.enabled', true);
$configManager->unset('cache.enabled');

Convert Configuration to Array

print_r($configManager->toArray());

Supported Formats

By default, comphp/config supports:

• JSON (.json)
• PHP (.php returning an array)

You can register additional parsers using ParserRegistry.

Extending with Custom Parsers

use Neuron\Configuration\Parsers\JsonParser;
use Neuron\Configuration\ParserRegistry;

$parserRegistry = $configManager->parsers;
$parserRegistry->register(YamlParser::class, 'yaml');
$parserRegistry->register(DatabaseParser::class, 'db')

Merge Strategies

When loading configurations, you can define how new values are merged:

• MergeMode::Replace (default): Overwrites existing values.
• MergeMode::Merge: Merges arrays recursively.
• MergeMode::Ignore: Keeps existing values untouched.
• MergeMode::Error: Throws an exception if a key already exists.

Example:

use Neuron\Configuration\MergeMode;
$configManager->load('app', 'config.json', MergeMode::Merge);
