Config
======

[](#config)

Load config files from various formats to PHP arrays and easily retrieve deeply nested items

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Specify any Loader which implements Affinity4\\Config\\LoaderInterface
- Get entire array of values
- Get specific value using simple, readable pattern

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Affinity4/Config is available via composer:

```
composer require affinity4/config
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Given the contents of `config.yml` are:

```
env: local
db:
    local:
        name: test
        user: root
        pass: root
        host: 127.0.0.1
```

Using the Affinity4 Yaml Loader:

```
$loader = new Affinity4\Config\Loader\Yaml(__DIR__ . '/config.yml');

$config = new Affinity4\Config\Config($loader);
```

Get complete array using the `get()` method without passing a key:

```
$config->get();
```

Would return:

```
[
    'env' => 'local',
    'db' => [
        'local' => [
            'name' => 'test',
            'user' => 'root',
            'pass' => 'root',
            'host' => '127.0.0.1',
        ]
    ]
]
```

Or get a specific value by specifying a the map to the nested key:

```
$config->get('db local name'); // test
```
