Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

All of the configuration files for the Panda framework are stored in the `config` directory. The main configuration file is named `config-default` followed by the extension according to the configuration type.

The main configuration file should include all the necessary config values for all the different services or features of your application.

Shared Configuration
--------------------

[](#shared-configuration)

The configuration values are being loaded in a common/shared configuration that is accessible during runtime at any time without the access to the configuration object.

Shared configuration is a sub-set of the shared registry and it can keep its values during runtime across different objects.

Configuration parsers
---------------------

[](#configuration-parsers)

The default configuration parser for the configuration files is the `\Panda\Config\Parsers\JsonParser` which support json files.

The job of the parsers (from the `config` package) is to parse the configuration files and return an array of their values.

Accessing Configuration Values
------------------------------

[](#accessing-configuration-values)

You may easily access your configuration values using the `SharedConfiguration` object. The configuration values may be accessed using "dot" syntax, which is being translated in encapsulated groups of values. A default value may also be specified and will be returned if the configuration option does not exist:

```
use \Panda\Config\SharedConfiguration;

$config = new SharedConfiguration();
$value = $config->get('routes.base_dir', $default = null);
```

You can also set configuration values at runtime:

```
use \Panda\Config\SharedConfiguration;

$config = new SharedConfiguration();
$config->set('logger.enabled', false);
```
