Config & Setting

Global Config

Windwalker stores global config files in /etc folder, you can see config.yml and secret.yml file. These two config files will be merged in runtime, so settings in secret.yml will override the same key in config.yml.

config.yml

The config.yml stores some global system settings includes the language locale, session time, cache storage, timezone etc. Which is your application need and will be track by VCS, .

secret.yml

And the secret.yml stores some customize or sensitive settings which you don't want to track by VCS, for example, the database account or the 3rd party service API key, you will not hope to push these information to GitHub or other public VCS service, so we will write some keys in secret.dist.yml.

For example, we can prepare some empty keys in secret.dist.yml then push this file to VCS.

## secret.dist.yml

## Keep NULL to notice developers fill this data.
amazon:
    key: ~
    secret: ~

When Someone clone this project, they must copy secret.dist.yml to secret.yml and fill the keys.

## secret.yml

## Fill real data to use.
amazon:
    key: ************
    secret: *************************

Override config.yml

If you set a config in config.yml

## config.yml

foo: bar

You can override it in secret.yml

## secret.yml

foo: yoo

Now the foo value will be yoo not bar.

Environment Config

Environment configs stored ad etc/app/:

• web.php => Config file for Web
• dev.php => Config file for Web development mode
• console.php => Config file for CLI
• test.php => Config file for test
• windwalker.php => Config file for all

Environment config contains some important system settings, you can add providers, listeners and middlewares to customize your system process.

Get & Set Config Data

In Application, you can use get() to get config.

// Use Ioc get Application then get config
$value = Ioc::getApplication()->get('foo', [default value]);

// Get config in controller
$value = $this->app->get('foo', [default value]);

// Set data
$this->app->set('foo', 'baz');

Get config by Config object.

// In everywhere
$config = Ioc::getConfig();

$foo = $config->get('foo');

// You can also get data by array access.

$foo = $config['foo'];

Config is a Structure object, please see Structure Object

Nested Data

If you have multi-level config:

morning:
    break:
        first: egg

Please use dot (.) as separator:

$config->get('morning.break.first'); // sakura

// OR get data by array access

$config['morning.break.first']; // sakura

Add New Config Files

Open src/app/windwalker.php (or web.php, console.php), add new config file at configs element. Windwalker supports php, json and yaml format to save config.

// ...
    'configs' => [
        500 => WINDWALKER_ETC . '/my-config.yml'
    ],
// ...

We use numeric keys to support sorting of config files, the bigger is later loaded, so last config will override previous.

Package Config

Every packages has their own configs. If you have a FlowerPackage and it's alias is flower, create a file to etc/package/flower.php. The Package object will auto load this config file.

<?php
// etc/package/flower.php

return [
    'foo' => 'bar'
];

You can get package config from package object:

$package = PackageHelper::getPackage('flower');

$package->get('foo'); // bar

    # Disabled cache will make all cache as null storage and not stored to storage.
    # But you can use CacheFactory::createCache('mycache') to ignore this settings.
    enabled: false

    # The default sotrage, you can use other storages by use `CacheManager::getCache('name', 'storage')`
    # Support storages: file / raw_file / memcached / null / redis / array / runtime_array
