Yaml reader for maer/config
===========================

[](#yaml-reader-for-maerconfig)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/06c618a9145c96c249de83a28b78314d6ca64a08ffbd4610c1afffdfb6ca59ba/68747470733a2f2f6170692e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6d61676e75732d6572696b73736f6e2f636f6e6669672d79616d6c2d7265616465722e737667)](https://travis-ci.org/magnus-eriksson/config-yaml-reader)

To keep the [maer/config](https://github.com/magnus-eriksson/config) library small and without dependencies, it doesn't support yaml-files out of the box.

If you want to use yaml-files, you can install this reader and register it for the yaml-file extension. This extension requires you to use maer/config version 2+.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require maer/config-yaml-reader

```

*If maer/config wasn't installed before, it will also be installed.*

Register
--------

[](#register)

You need to register the reader and associate it with the `yml`-file extension.

```
# Either add the reader to an existing config instance
$config->setReader('yml', new Maer\Config\Yaml\Reader);

# or you can add the reader when you instantiate the config class as a second argument
$options = [
    'readers' => [
        'yml' => new Maer\Config\Yaml\Reader,
    ],
];

$config = new Config(['/path-to-your-config.yml'], $options);
```

If you go for the first option, you need to set the reader *before* you load the yaml-file.

Exceptions
----------

[](#exceptions)

If the yaml file couldn't be parsed, it will throw a `Symfony\Component\Yaml\Exception\ParseException`.
