Yalesov\\Yaml
=============

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/87c34a8425899255f3a8a024356be2ae865ce6fc07d6b3cf1f0219108745dc0e/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f79616c65736f762f7068702d79616d6c2e737667)](https://travis-ci.org/yalesov/php-yaml)

Wrapper around Symfony's Yaml parser - added `__DIR__` support.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

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

```
{
  "require": {
    "yalesov/yaml": "2.*"
  }
}
```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Two constants added:

- `__DIR__`: behave as expected
- `___DIR___` (an extra underscore around): literal `__DIR__`

Parse a Yaml file `foo/bar.yml`:

```
use Yalesov\Yaml\Yaml;
$parsedArray = Yaml::parse('foo/bar.yml');
```

Parse a Yaml string `foo: bar` (of course, neither `__DIR__` nor `___DIR___` would be available)

```
use Yalesov\Yaml\Yaml;
$parsedArray = Yaml::parse('foo: bar');
```
