Exts\\Configured
================

[](#extsconfigured)

This is a library created for loading different types of config files into arrays and being able to easily manage the configuration data using either dot notation or directly accessing the array data.

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

[](#installation)

`composer require exts/configured:1.*`

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
    use Exts\Configured\ConfigLoader;
    use Exts\Configured\Loader\YAML;

    $config = new ConfigLoader(new Yaml(__DIR__ . '/config'));

    // load data directly from file using dot notation
    // database = filename 'database.yml'
    //
    // yaml data example:
    // -------------------
    //  user: 'example'
    //  pass: 'examplepwd'
    //  host: '127.0.0.1'
    //  tble: 'example_table'
    // -------------------

    $dbUser = $config->get('database.user', 'root');
    $dbPass = $config->get('database.pass', 'pass');
    $dbTble = $config->get('database.tble', 'example');
    $dbHost = $config->get('database.host', 'localhost');

    var_dump($dbUser, $dbPass, $dbTble, $dbHost);

    // you can also load the data as an array object
    // this takes a filename directly you can include or exclude the extension 'yml' as an example
    $db = $config->getArrayObject('database');

    // you can access the array data directly like so:
    $dbUser = $db['user'] ?? 'root';

    // you can access the data using dot notation lets say our data looked like laravel for example:
    // ---------------------
    // default: 'mysql'
    // connections:
    //   mysql:
    //     driver: 'mysql'
    //     host: 'localhost'
    //     database: ''
    //     username: ''
    //     password: ''
    //     charset: 'utf8'
    //     collation: 'utf8_unicode_ci'
    //     prefix: ''
    // ---------------------
    // Then we could do something like:

    $dbUser = $db->get('connections.mysql.username', 'root');

    // We can also edit or add mysql data directly using dot notation like so:
    $db->set('connections.mysql.username', 'example_user');
    var_dump($db['connections']['mysql']['username']);

    // Which I think is pretty cool_

```

Saving an `ConfigArray` object using `ConfigStorage` *(since v1.1)*
-------------------------------------------------------------------

[](#saving-an-configarray-object-using-configstorage-since-v11)

```
    use Exts\Configured\ConfigArray;
    use Exts\Configured\ConfigStorage;
    use Exts\Configured\Storage\YAML;

    $saveFile = 'example.yml';
    $saveDirectory = __DIR__ . '/config/';

    $exampleArrayObject = new ConfigArray(['example', 'data']);

    $exampleStorage = new ConfigStorage(new YAML($saveDirectory));
    $exampleStorage->store($saveFile, (array) $exampleArrayObject);
```

Custom Loaders
--------------

[](#custom-loaders)

Custom loaders are pretty simple, just create a class that implements the `LoaderInterface` and call it a day :), will write an example w/ tests later if you'd like.
