Simple Config tools
===================

[](#simple-config-tools)

A simplest possible configuration handler. The "do-it-yourself"-way.

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/825c4af6e162be102817c064462b0eb7b69f92da0b1931a21512945dc2ea013d/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e636f6d2f70617363616c2d65626572686172642f636f6e6669672d73696d706c652d7068702e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.com/pascal-eberhard/config-simple-php)

The problem
-----------

[](#the-problem)

I started developing a [config-php](https://github.com/pascal-eberhard/config-php) project. A simple configuration handler, but with some automation. For example, to find the project directory.

But to do so, I needed I/O tools and started an [io-php](https://github.com/pascal-eberhard/io-php) project. For this some config tools would be nice... You see the circular reference?

Therefore let's first create a simplest possible configuration handler.

Some shell commands
-------------------

[](#some-shell-commands)

```
# All checks
composer checks

# One at a time, see composer.json "scripts"
```
