Application Skeleton
====================

[](#application-skeleton)

[![build](https://github.com/dmt-software/app-skeleton/actions/workflows/push-action.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/dmt-software/app-skeleton/actions/workflows/push-action.yml)

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

[](#installation)

Replace **\[path\]** in the command below to create a new application in that location.

```
composer create-project dmt-software/app-skeleton [path] --stability dev

```

Dependency injection
--------------------

[](#dependency-injection)

Dependency is handled by *Service Providers* which are included within the *App::initServices* method. Within this method you can add more providers that list their dependencies within the *Dependency Container*.

> see [dmt-software/di-plug](https://packagist.org/packages/dmt-software/di-plug) for container implementations that are supported.

### Container

[](#container)

By default, the application uses Pimple container to hold the dependency injection. This can be changed to another container implementation.

#### PHP-DI container

[](#php-di-container)

```
composer remove pimple/pimple
composer require php-di/php-di
```

The container will be auto-discovered, but to ensure the chosen container implementation is used, it can be configured manually.

```
use DMT\Apps\App;
use DMT\DependencyInjection\ContainerFactory;
use DI\Container;
use Slim\Factory\AppFactory;

$app = new App(
    responseFactory: AppFactory::determineResponseFactory(),
    container: (new ContainerFactory())->createContainer(new Container())
);
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

### Get/Set

[](#getset)

Configuration options within the configuration can easily be accessed by a dotted-slug.

```
$config->get(); // will return all the options as array
$config->get(option: 'option.slug'); // will return the value stored in Config::options['option']['slug'] if set
$config->get(option: 'not.set.option', default: 'value'); // will return the default when it is not set
```

Setting new options will use the same dotted-slug as option identifier.

```
// all will store the same value in the config
$config->set(value: ['option' => ['slug' => 'value']]);
$config->set(option: 'option', value: ['slug' => 'value']);
$config->set(option: 'option.slug', value: 'value');
```

Setting options within the configuration will use the *array\_replace* strategy.

### Loading configuration

[](#loading-configuration)

The configuration can be loaded from a file. By default, this is a php file that returns an array or a Closure that returns an array containing the configuration options.

```
// file: config/application.php
return static function () {
    return [
        // settings
    ];
};

// within the application or service provider
$config->load('config/application.php');
```

#### Yaml configuration

[](#yaml-configuration)

```
composer require symfony/yaml
```

Use the ChainLoader to enable both file include and yaml config files.

```
use DMT\Config\Loaders\FileLoader;
use DMT\Config\Loaders\FileLoaderInterface;
use DMT\Config\Loaders\LoaderChain;
use Symfony\Component\Yaml\Yaml;

$container->set(
    id: FileLoaderInterface::class,
    value: fn() => new LoaderChain(loaders: [
        new FileLoader(),
        new FileLoader('yaml', Yaml::parseFile(...))
    ])
);
```
