This package allows you to easily inject configuration files into you own classes.

• Laravel 4 Setup

Installation

Download this package or install it through Composer:

"require": {
	"codezero/configurator": "3.*"
}

Usage

Define a configuration

Specify an array...

$config = [
    'my_setting' => 'some value',
    'my_other_setting' => 'some other value'
];

Or refer to a configuration file...

$config = '/path/to/configFile.php';

That configuration file could look like this:

<?php
return [
    'my_setting' => 'some value',
    'my_other_setting' => 'some other value'
];

Use Configurator in your class

Inject a Configurator implementation in your class. If none is supplied, the default one will be instantiated. The $configurator->load() method will return a Configuration object or throw a ConfigurationException if no valid array could be loaded.

use CodeZero\Configurator\Configurator;
use CodeZero\Configurator\DefaultConfigurator;

class MyClass {

    private $config;

    public function __construct($config, Configurator $configurator = null)
    {
        $configurator = $configurator ?: new DefaultConfigurator();
        $this->config = $configurator->load($config);
    }
}

Instantiate your class

Create an instance of your class, passing it the configuration array or file:

$myClass = new MyClass($config);

Use the Configuration in your class

Get configuration values:

$mySetting = $this->config->get('my_setting');
$myOtherSetting = $this->config->get('my_other_setting');

Set configuration values at runtime:

$this->config->set('my_setting', 'some new value');

And that's all there is to it...

Laravel 5 Usage

IoC binding

If you use Laravel, then you can setup a binding that resolves your class with its configuration automatically. Let's say you have a class Acme\MyApp\MyClass:

App::bind('Acme\MyApp\MyClass', function($app)
{
	// Specify an array...
    $config = [
        'my_setting' => 'some value',
        'my_other_setting' => 'some other value'
    ];

	// Or refer to a configuration file...
	$config = '/path/to/configFile.php';

    return new \Acme\MyApp\MyClass($config);
});

Use Laravel's Config infrastructure

What if you don't want to hardcode an array or a file path in your bindings, but instead you want to make use of laravel's Config infrastructure? Let's imagine that you create a Laravel configuration file at config/myapp.php. You could then use this in your binding:

$config = $app['config']->get("myapp");

Simple as that...
