ConfigServiceProvider

A config ServiceProvider for Silex with support for php, json, yaml, and toml.

Installation

Put these lines to your composer.json:

"require": {
    "danaki/config-service-provider": "dev-master"
},
...
"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url": "https://github.com/danaki/ConfigServiceProvider"
    }
]

Usage

Passing a config file

Pass the config file's path to the service provider's constructor. This is the recommended way of doing it, allowing you to define multiple environments.

$env = getenv('APP_ENV') ?: 'prod';
$app->register(new Igorw\Silex\ConfigServiceProvider(__DIR__."/../config/$env.json"));

Now you can specify a prod and a dev environment.

config/prod.json

{
    "debug": false
}

config/dev.json

{
    "debug": true
}

To switch between them, just set the APP_ENV environment variable. In apache that would be:

SetEnv APP_ENV dev

Or in nginx with fcgi:

fastcgi_param APP_ENV dev

Replacements

Also, you can pass an array of replacement patterns as second argument.

$app->register(new Igorw\Silex\ConfigServiceProvider(__DIR__."/../config/services.json", array(
    'data_path' => __DIR__.'/data',
)));

Now you can use the pattern in your configuration file.

/config/services.json

{
    "xsl.path": "%data_path%/xsl"
}

You can also specify replacements inside the config file by using a key with %foo% notation:

{
    "%root_path%": "../..",
    "xsl.path": "%root_path%/xsl"
}

Using Yaml

To use Yaml instead of JSON, just pass a file that ends on .yml:

$app->register(new Igorw\Silex\ConfigServiceProvider(__DIR__."/../config/services.yml"));

Note, you will have to require the ~2.1 of the symfony/yaml package.

Using TOML

To use TOML instead of any of the other supported formats, just pass a file that ends on .toml:

$app->register(new Igorw\Silex\ConfigServiceProvider(__DIR__."/../config/services.toml"));

Note, you will have to require the ~0.1 of the jamesmoss/toml package and you are using a bleeding edge configuration format, as the spec of TOML is still subject to change.

Using plain PHP

If reading the config file on every request becomes a performance problem in production, you can use a plain PHP file instead, and it will get cached by APC.

You'll have to rewrite your config to be a PHP file that returns the array of config data, and also make sure it ends with .php:

$app->register(new Igorw\Silex\ConfigServiceProvider(__DIR__."/../config/prod.php"));

Multiple config files

You can use multiple config files, e. g. one for a whole application and a specific one for a task by calling $app->register() several times, each time passing another instance of Igorw\Silex\ConfigServiceProvider.
