Application Builder
===================

[](#application-builder)

A generic builder for application construction based on various server environment.

### Licence

### PSR

[](#psr)

PSR-1, PSR-2, and PSR-4.

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require "tuum/builder: ^1.0.0"
```

### Sample Code

[](#sample-code)

```
use WScore\Builder\Builder;

$builder  = Builder::forge(
    __DIR__ . '/config,  // app directory
    __DIR__ . '/var',    // var directory
    true                 // debug
);
$builder->loadEnv();
$builder->load('setup');
$builder->load('routes');
if ($builder->isEnv('local')) {
    $builder->load('extra.local');
}

$app = $builder->getApp(); // get('DB_NAME', 'my_db');
```

### Environment File

[](#environment-file)

Loads `.env` file using [vlucas's dotenv](https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv) component. The default location of the `.env` file is at `VAR_DIR`.

The `.env` file contains `APP_ENV` key to specify the environment as such;

```
APP_ENV = local
```

Then, you can access the environment as,

```
$builder->loadEnv(); // load the .env file

$builder->isEnv('local');
$builder->isEnvProd();
$env = $builder->getEnv();
```

The builder considers the environment as `prod`if no environment is set, or no environment file to load.

To change the key string used to specify the environment, set `Builder::APP_KEY` value to the new key name, such as;

```
$builder->set(Builder::APP_KEY, 'ENV');  // set value
```
