Configuration wrapper
=====================

[](#configuration-wrapper)

Allows easily reading a site's configuration through the use of a `*Config()`wrapper class. It can work on multiple platforms and environments.

This came about from the need to support multiple different platforms, environments, and configuration setups across different project types. I wanted a singular way to work with these different setups instead of having something custom for each platform and project type.

Basic example:
--------------

[](#basic-example)

```
require 'path/to/composer/autoload.php';

use StevenWichers\Configuration\JSONConfig;

$config = new JSONConfig();
$fqdn = $config->getConfigItem('fqdn')->getValue();

```

See `example.php` in the examples folder for more usage examples.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Using Composer (recommended)

[](#using-composer-recommended)

Installation using [composer](https://getcomposer.org/) is very straightforward. You must add the repository as an entry in your composer.json, as well as requiring the project. A complete composer.json that only includes this project would look like this:

```
{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "url": "https://github.com/swichers/configuration-framework.git",
      "type": "git"
    }
  ],
  "require": {
    "swichers/configuration-framework": "1.*@stable"
  }
}

```

After your composer.json file has been created or updated, you would issue a `composer install` command. The final step is adding the composer autoloader to your project:

```
require 'path/to/vendor/autoload.php';

```

### Other

[](#other)

You can clone this repository to your project and include the classes directly. This project relies on a proper PSR-0/PSR-4 compliant autoloader being configured, but otherwise does not leverage any of the other composer features at this time.
