[](#manual)

Instantiating Strong Typed Config
---------------------------------

[](#instantiating-strong-typed-config)

Creating an instance of Strong Typed Config requires passing an instance of `Noodlehaus\Config`:

```
use Noodlehaus\Config;
use SetBased\Config\TypedConfig;

$config = new TypedConfig(new Config('config.json'));
```

Getting the value of a key
--------------------------

[](#getting-the-value-of-a-key)

There are two flavors of methods for getting a configuration value:

- Mandatory keys (man for short). These methods will never return a null value.
- Optional keys (opt for short). These methods will return null if the key does not exists or has value `null`.

All methods will try to cast the value of a key to the required type using package [setbased/helper-cast](https://github.com/SetBased/php-helper-cast/blob/master/composer.json). I.e. if the value of key is `string(1)` method `getManBool` will return `bool(true)` and method `getManInt` will return `int(1)`.

All methods have two arguments:

1. The key.
2. An optional default value. this value will be returned if the key does not exists or has value `null`.

The table below gives an overview of all methods for getting the value of a key.
