Easy Config

This package provides an easy-to-use YAML-based configuration system for PHP, including process and APC caching.

It currently doesn't work as I just pulled it out of a framework that I built that I've been using for projects for the past couple of years. There are currently a number of dependencies on other parts of the framework that need to be removed for it to be a stand-alone package.

Usage

The idea behind it is that you can have a tree of YAML configuration files like:

appconfig/
    |- myconfig.yaml

With myconfig.yaml looking like:

secret_key: my_secret
redis_url: redis://localhost:6379/1
list_of_stuff:
	- item1
	- item2
	- item3

And you can access the configuration like this:

$config = easyconfig\Loader::getConfig('appconfig');
$secret = $config->myconfig->secret_key;
$redis_url = $config->myconfig->redis_url;

foreach ($config->myconfig->list_of_stuff as $item)
{
    print "$item\n";
}

// You could also do:
$config = easyconfig\Loader::getConfig('appconfig/myconfig');

Configs are lazy-loaded, so they only get read from disk or APC when an attempt is made to access them.

Extensibility

It's also extendable to handle configurations with specific yaml tags differently. See easyconfig\yamltaghandler* classes for examples.

Future Plans

Keep watching this space - I hope to have this package available as a composer package for use soon, but feel free to adopt the concepts here in your own code if you like.
