This repository contains the classes that are used as glue for creating the CakePHP framework. Usage ----- [](#usage) You can use the `Configure` class to store arbitrary configuration data: ``` use Cake\Core\Configure; use Cake\Core\Configure\Engine\PhpConfig; Configure::write('Company.name','Pizza, Inc.'); Configure::read('Company.name'); // Returns: 'Pizza, Inc.' ``` It also possible to load configuration from external files: ``` Configure::config('default', new PhpConfig('/path/to/config/folder')); Configure::load('app', 'default', false); Configure::load('other_config', 'default'); ``` And write the configuration back into files: ``` Configure::dump('my_config', 'default'); ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Please make sure you check the [official documentation](https://book.cakephp.org/5/en/development/configuration.html) ### Health Score 76 — ExcellentBetter than 100% of packages Maintenance94 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity61 Solid adoption and visibility Community41 Growing community involvement Maturity95 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
