ConfigServiceProvider
=====================

[](#configserviceprovider)

A config ServiceProvider for [Silex](http://silex.sensiolabs.org) with support for php, json, yaml, and toml.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Passing a config file

[](#passing-a-config-file)

Pass the config file's path to the service provider's constructor. This is the recommended way of doing it, allowing you to define multiple environments.

```
$env = getenv('APP_ENV') ?: 'prod';
$app->register(new Igorw\Silex\ConfigServiceProvider(__DIR__."/../config/$env.json"));

```

Now you can specify a `prod` and a `dev` environment.

**config/prod.json**

```
{
    "debug": false
}

```

**config/dev.json**

```
{
    "debug": true
}

```

To switch between them, just set the `APP_ENV` environment variable. In apache that would be:

```
SetEnv APP_ENV dev

```

Or in nginx with fcgi:

```
fastcgi_param APP_ENV dev

```

### Replacements

[](#replacements)

Also, you can pass an array of replacement patterns as second argument.

```
$app->register(new Igorw\Silex\ConfigServiceProvider(__DIR__."/../config/services.json", array(
    'data_path' => __DIR__.'/data',
)));

```

Now you can use the pattern in your configuration file.

**/config/services.json**

```
{
    "xsl.path": "%data_path%/xsl"
}

```

You can also specify replacements inside the config file by using a key with `%foo%` notation:

```
{
    "%root_path%": "../..",
    "xsl.path": "%root_path%/xsl"
}

```

### Using Yaml

[](#using-yaml)

To use Yaml instead of JSON, just pass a file that ends on `.yml`:

```
$app->register(new Igorw\Silex\ConfigServiceProvider(__DIR__."/../config/services.yml"));

```

Note, you will have to require the `~2.1` of the `symfony/yaml` package.

### Using TOML

[](#using-toml)

To use [TOML](https://github.com/mojombo/toml) instead of any of the other supported formats, just pass a file that ends on `.toml`:

```
$app->register(new Igorw\Silex\ConfigServiceProvider(__DIR__."/../config/services.toml"));

```

Note, you will have to require the `~0.1` of the `jamesmoss/toml` package and you are using a bleeding edge configuration format, as the spec of TOML is still subject to change.

### Using plain PHP

[](#using-plain-php)

If reading the config file on every request becomes a performance problem in production, you can use a plain PHP file instead, and it will get cached by APC.

You'll have to rewrite your config to be a PHP file that returns the array of config data, and also make sure it ends with `.php`:

```
$app->register(new Igorw\Silex\ConfigServiceProvider(__DIR__."/../config/prod.php"));

```

### Multiple config files

[](#multiple-config-files)

You can use multiple config files, e. g. one for a whole application and a specific one for a task by calling `$app->register()` several times, each time passing another instance of `Igorw\Silex\ConfigServiceProvider`.

### Register order

[](#register-order)

Make sure you register ConfigServiceProvider last with your application. If you do not do this, the default values of other Providers will override your configuration.
