Object Config for CakePHP
=========================

[](#object-config-for-cakephp)

Objects!? Why not arrays?
-------------------------

[](#objects-why-not-arrays)

You should use objects instead of arrays because:

- An array can't be type checked if it really is the intended config
- It is easy to have typos in config arrays
- The configuration is separated from the class unlike when using `InstanceConfigTrait`
- Optional bonus: An array doesn't bring easy validation of config data with it

So instead of doing something like

```
class Foo(array $config);
```

do this

```
class Foo(FooConfig $config);
```

How to use it
-------------

[](#how-to-use-it)

Create your configuration object:

```
use Burzum\ObjectConfig\Config;

class FooConfig extends Config {

	protected $_defaultConfig = [
		// Set your default values here
	];

	/* Your setter / getter methods go here */
}
```

Then just use it:

```
$config = new FooConfig();
$config->setBar('some-value);

class Foo {

	protected $config;

	public function __construct(FooConfig $config)
	{
		$this->config = $config;
	}
}

$foo = new Foo($config);
```

### Migrating arrays to objects

[](#migrating-arrays-to-objects)

For a soft migration path you can still do this:

```
class Foo {

	protected $config;

	public function __construct(array $config = [])
	{
		$this->config = FooConfig::createFromArray($config);
	}
}
```

### Array access

[](#array-access)

The `Config` class implements `\ArrayAccess`. So even when you change the signature of a method to require a specific type of object, your underlying code can still access the config like an array:

```
$config = new Config();
$config['arrayaccess'] = 'value';

echo $config['arrayaccess'];
```

Or you can simply get the whole config as array by calling:

```
$configArray = $config->toArray();
```
