PHP-app-config is a component to store application/package settings, also capable of storing it per environment if necessary.

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

PHP-app-config uses [Composer](http://getcomposer.org) as dependency management tool. Create or ppdate your `composer.json` file and run:

`$ composer install` or `$ composer update`

Use
---

[](#use)

Create a folder called `config/` at your app/package, and put your YAML `config.yml` file there. (an example of valid YAML file can found in the source). Then call `Config::get`, in one of the ways below.

### YAML Config file structure

[](#yaml-config-file-structure)

Your YAML config.yml file may look like this:

```
some_setting:
  development: some setting development
  test: some setting test
  production: some setting production

another_setting: another setting without environment
```

This way you can store settings depending on environment or not. Your choice. In order to have environment specific settings, you must set an environment variable called "ENVIRONMENT", with a value that can be found at your config file.

### Example

[](#example)

The example below will try to find the key `variable_name.[environment]` at `/config/config.yml`:

```
use robotdance\Config;
...
$value = Config::get('variable_name');
```

Running tests
-------------

[](#running-tests)

`$ ./bin/phpunit`

Contribute
----------

[](#contribute)

Fork, write tests, code, submit pull request. Coverage must remains at 100%.
