$config->set('DB_STRICT_MODE', true);
```

#### File format

[](#file-format)

Reader can load these types of lines

```
DB_HOST=localhost           // loaded as string 'localhost'
DB_USERNAME="user"          // string 'user'
DB_PASSWORD = 'password'    // string 'password'
DB_STRICT_MODE=true         // boolean true

FLOAT_VALUE=1.1             // float 1.1
INT_VALUE=1                 // int 1
NULL_VALUE=null             // null

# comment                   // won't be loaded
; comment                   // won't be loaded
//comment                   // won't be loaded

```

Comment has to be at the start of the line

#### Example of file loading

[](#example-of-file-loading)

```
name="John"
surname=Doe
age=25
salary=12.5
married=false
wife=null

```

```
[
  "name"    => "John",
  "surname" => "Doe",
  "age"     => 25,
  "salary"  => 12.5
  "married" => false,
  "wife"    => null
]
```

#### Saving configuration

[](#saving-configuration)

When saving the configuration, file format will be respected. Therefore empty lines and comments will preserved. New values (NOT only changed) will be placed at the end of the file

#### Further examples

[](#further-examples)

###### Get all configuration values

[](#get-all-configuration-values)

```
$config = Mayoturis\Properties\RepositoryFactory::make('path_to_configuration_file');
$configurationArray = $config->all();
```

###### Setting value

[](#setting-value)

```
// file .env

name=John
surname="Doe"

# In 2015
age=25

```

```
// file index.php

$config = Mayoturis\Properties\RepositoryFactory::make(__DIR__ . '/.env');
$config->set('name', 'Johny');
$config->set('age', 35);
```

```
// file .env after

name=Johny
surname="Doe"

# In 2015
age=35

```

###### Save all configuration values

[](#save-all-configuration-values)

```
$configArray = [
  "username" => "user",
  "password" => "password"
];

$config = Mayoturis\Properties\RepositoryFactory::make('path_to_configuration_file');
$config->setAll($configArray);
```

Notice: setAll function will override all configuration values. Previous values will be lost.
