README

FastForward Config is a flexible and modern PHP configuration library built for performance, extendability, and lazy-loading behavior. It supports dot-notation keys, recursive directory loading, Laminas-compliant configuration providers, and optional PSR-16 caching.

✨ Features

• 🔑 Dot notation access: config->get('app.env')
• 📁 Load from arrays, directories, or providers
• ♻️ Lazy-loading with __invoke()
• 🧩 Aggregation of multiple sources
• 🗂 Recursive directory support
• 💾 Optional PSR-16 compatible caching
• 🔌 Compatible with Laminas ConfigProviders

📦 Installation

composer require fast-forward/config

🚀 Quick Start

Load configuration from multiple sources:

use FastForward\Config\{config, configDir, configCache};
use Symfony\Component\Cache\Simple\FilesystemCache;

$config = config(
    ['app' => ['env' => 'production']],
    __DIR__ . '/config',
    \Vendor\Package\ConfigProvider::class
);

echo $config->get('app.env'); // "production"

Cache configuration using PSR-16:

$cache = new FilesystemCache();

$config = configCache(
    cache: $cache,
    ['foo' => 'bar']
);

echo $config->get('foo'); // "bar"

Load from a recursive directory:

$config = configDir(__DIR__ . '/config', recursive: true);

Use Laminas-style providers:

$config = configProvider([
    new Vendor\Package\Provider1(),
    new Vendor\Package\Provider2(),
]);

🧪 Access & Mutation

$config->set('db.host', 'localhost');
echo $config->get('db.host'); // "localhost"

$config->has('app.debug'); // true/false

print_r($config->toArray());

📁 Directory Structure Example

config/
├── app.php
├── db.php
└── services/
    └── mail.php
