DB-based configuration for [CakePHP 3](http://cakephp.org).

Install
-------

[](#install)

Using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require gourmet/aroma:^1.0.x-dev

```

You then need to load the plugin. You can use the shell command:

```
bin/cake plugin load Gourmet/Aroma

```

or by manually adding statement shown below to `bootstrap.php`:

```
Plugin::load('Gourmet/Aroma');
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

For the most basic setup, you don't need to do much:

```
// config/bootstrap.php
use Cake\Core\Configure;
use Gourmet\Aroma\Core\Configure\Engine\DbConfig;

Configure::config('db', new DbConfig());
```

If you'd like to use a custom table for storing configuration:

```
// config/bootstrap.php
use Cake\Core\Configure;
use Cake\ORM\TableRegistry;
use Gourmet\Aroma\Core\Configure\Engine\DbConfig;

Configure::config('db', new DbConfig(TableRegistry::get('MyConfigurations')));
```

Of if you just want to use a different caching engine configuration for storing the database query results:

```
// config/bootstrap.php
use Cake\Core\Configure;
use Gourmet\Aroma\Core\Configure\Engine\DbConfig;

Configure::config('db', new DbConfig(null, 'customCacheConfigAlias'));
```

Once you have set it up, you can use like any other `Configure` engine, using the `key` you have assigned it:

```
Configure::read('site_name', 'db');
Configure::write('site_name', 'My Personal Blog', 'db');
```
