README

This is a library created for loading different types of config files into arrays and being able to easily manage the configuration data using either dot notation or directly accessing the array data.

Installation

composer require exts/configured:1.*

Example

    use Exts\Configured\ConfigLoader;
    use Exts\Configured\Loader\YAML;
    
    $config = new ConfigLoader(new Yaml(__DIR__ . '/config'));
    
    // load data directly from file using dot notation
    // database = filename 'database.yml'
    //
    // yaml data example:
    // -------------------
    //  user: 'example'
    //  pass: 'examplepwd'
    //  host: '127.0.0.1'
    //  tble: 'example_table'
    // -------------------
    
    $dbUser = $config->get('database.user', 'root');
    $dbPass = $config->get('database.pass', 'pass');
    $dbTble = $config->get('database.tble', 'example');
    $dbHost = $config->get('database.host', 'localhost');
    
    var_dump($dbUser, $dbPass, $dbTble, $dbHost);
    
    // you can also load the data as an array object
    // this takes a filename directly you can include or exclude the extension 'yml' as an example
    $db = $config->getArrayObject('database');
    
    // you can access the array data directly like so:
    $dbUser = $db['user'] ?? 'root';
    
    // you can access the data using dot notation lets say our data looked like laravel for example:
    // ---------------------
    // default: 'mysql'
    // connections:
    //   mysql:
    //     driver: 'mysql'
    //     host: 'localhost'
    //     database: ''
    //     username: ''
    //     password: ''
    //     charset: 'utf8'
    //     collation: 'utf8_unicode_ci'
    //     prefix: ''
    // ---------------------
    // Then we could do something like:
    
    $dbUser = $db->get('connections.mysql.username', 'root');
    
    // We can also edit or add mysql data directly using dot notation like so:
    $db->set('connections.mysql.username', 'example_user');
    var_dump($db['connections']['mysql']['username']);
    
    // Which I think is pretty cool_
    

Saving an ConfigArray object using ConfigStorage (since v1.1)

    use Exts\Configured\ConfigArray;
    use Exts\Configured\ConfigStorage;
    use Exts\Configured\Storage\YAML;
    
    $saveFile = 'example.yml';
    $saveDirectory = __DIR__ . '/config/';
    
    $exampleArrayObject = new ConfigArray(['example', 'data']);
    
    $exampleStorage = new ConfigStorage(new YAML($saveDirectory));
    $exampleStorage->store($saveFile, (array) $exampleArrayObject);

Custom Loaders

Custom loaders are pretty simple, just create a class that implements the LoaderInterface and call it a day :), will write an example w/ tests later if you'd like.
