Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Definition

[](#definition)

Extend `Collection` with each definition a public function

An Live Template of PHPStorm like this can be added to make a shortcut

```
public function $CONF_NAME$(): Item
{
    return $this->make(__FUNCTION__, $DEF_VALUE$, $READER$, $WRITER$);
}
```

### Source

[](#source)

Instantiate your own `Loader` with a callback that return the array of raw data of configuration. The key shall be the Collection's FQN. Just `require` the dumped file in case of using a saved php configuration file. Call `setApcu('key_prefix')` to enable APCu caching.

### Routines

[](#routines)

Instantiate needed children instance of `Collection`, which a DI container is suggested to fulfil the task. Pass the loader in previous step. Then you call get the configuration by `$collection->item()()`. Note that `__invoke()` is used. Otherwise what you get is a `Item` object having many useful methods like `def()` and `raw()`.

See tests for more detailed usage.
