Environments Plugin
A plugin to handle environment-level configuration
Requirements
- CakePHP 3.x
Installation
[Using Composer]
View on Packagist, and copy the json snippet for the latest version into your project's composer.json
. Eg, v. 1.0.0 would look like this:
{ "require": { "josegonzalez/cakephp-environments": "3.0.0" } }
Enable plugin
You need to enable the plugin your config/bootstrap.php
file:
Plugin::load('Josegonzalez/Environments');
If you are already using Plugin::loadAll();
before usage, then this is not necessary.
Usage
Setup a directory structure as follows:
config/environments.php
config/environments/production.php
config/environments/staging.php
config/environments/development.php
We specify multiple environment files to separate the various configurations and make it easy to inspect a given environment. This is not necessary, but useful if you are configuring a large amount of information.
Your environments.php
should contain the following:
<?php use Josegonzalez\Environments\Environment; include dirname(__FILE__) . DS . 'environments' . DS . 'production.php'; include dirname(__FILE__) . DS . 'environments' . DS . 'staging.php'; include dirname(__FILE__) . DS . 'environments' . DS . 'development.php'; Environment::start(); ?>
Then, you need to include the environments.php
file you created in your application, for example in bootstrap.php
:
include dirname(__FILE__) . DS . 'environments.php';
This will:
- Load the environments plugin in cases where it may not already be loaded
- Include every environment, in order of specificity (development is usually last)
- Start the environment
Environment Configuration
Each environment may be configured as follows:
Josegonzalez\Environments\Environment::configure($name, $params, $config = null, $callable = null);
Example usage of the \Josegonzalez\Environments\Environment::configure()
call is available in the config/environments
folder of this plugin.
-
$name
: Usually something likeproduction
ordevelopment
. Good practice is to name it the same as the file it was in, so that there isn't any confusion as to what a given env file contains -
$params
: An array or boolean of environment variables used to check whether this environment applies. If a boolean and set to true, this environment is automatically initiated. A value oftrue
should only be used for development:If a previous environment is not enabled, this one will be set
\Josegonzalez\Environments\Environment::configure( 'development', true, ['debug' => true] );
If an array, the keys may be function names that are called, with the values being passed to it:
\Josegonzalez\Environments\Environment::configure( 'development', [ 'some_function' => 'aValueForThisCheck', 'another_function' => 'aDifferentValueForThisCheck', ] );
In all other cases, we simply check the environment:
\Josegonzalez\Environments\Environment::configure( 'octo_development', [ 'SERVER_NAME' => 'octo-example.dev', ] ); \Josegonzalez\Environments\Environment::configure( 'bear_development', [ 'SERVER_NAME' => 'bear-example.dev', ] ); \Josegonzalez\Environments\Environment::configure( 'development', [ 'CAKE_ENV' => 'development', ] );
If we are running in CLI, the only check enforced is
CAKE_ENV
, and the value MUST be the name of the environment:CAKE_ENV=production Console/cake bake all
If the
CAKE_ENV
environment variable is set at all, it takes precedence over everything, including a boolean value for$params
. -
$config
: If set, an array ofkeys
=>values
that are set viaConfigure::write()
. Useful for batch-setting api keys, database connection information, etc. -
$callable
: A PHP callable, such as['ClassName', 'functionName']
. It is also possible to use an anonymous function. This is the preferred method of setting information that might depend upon the value of some function call.
