Slim Config - YAML
Parses YAML files and adds them into Slim's config singleton. Uses Symfony's YAML Component to parse files (http://github.com/symfony/Yaml). Allows other YAML files to be imported and parameters to be set and used.
Getting Started
Installation
Composer
Install composer in your project.
curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Create a composer.json
file in your project root:
{
"require": {
"techsterx/slim-config-yaml": "1.*"
}
}
Install via composer:
php composer.phar install
Add this line to your application's index.php
file:
<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
Manual Install
Download and extract src/ directory into your project directory and require
it in your application's index.php
file.
<?php
require 'Slim\Slim.php';
require 'Yaml.php';
$app = new \Slim\Slim();
\BurningDiode\Slim\Config\Yaml::getInstance()->addFile('/path/to/some/file');
Methods
Slim Config - YAML uses a static method to get the currenct instance. If an instance doesn't exist, a new one will be created. Use the getInstance()
method to get the current instance.
$slimYaml = \BurningDiode\Slim\Config\Yaml::getInstance();
_()
is the shorthand equivalent of getInstance()
.
$slimYaml = \BurningDiode\Slim\Config\Yaml::_();
To add a single file, use the addFile()
method.
\BurningDiode\Slim\Config\Yaml::getInstance()->addFile('/path/to/some/file.yaml');
You can also chain multiple addFile()
methods togethor.
\BurningDiode\Slim\Config\Yaml::getInstance()
->addFile('/path/to/some/file.yaml')
->addFile('/path/to/another/file.yaml');
You can import a whole directory of YAML files.
\BurningDiode\Slim\Config\Yaml::getInstance()->addDirectory('/path/to/directory');
You can chain with the addDirectory()
method as well.
\BurningDiode\Slim\Config\Yaml::getInstance()
->addDirectory('/path/to/directory')
->addFile('/path/to/some/file.yaml');
Specify some global parameters to be used by all YAML files processed.
\BurningDiode\Slim\Config\Yaml::_()
->addParameters(array('app.root' => dirname(__FILE__)))
->addDirectory('/path/to/config/directory')
->addFile('/path/to/file/outside/of/config/directory.yml');
Using Parameters
You can specify parameters in YAML files that will be replaced using keywords. Parameters are only available to the resource currently being processed.
config.yaml
parameters:
key1: value1
key2: value2
application:
keya: %key1%
keyb: %key2%
app.php
\BurningDiode\Slim\Config\Yaml::_()->addFile('config.yml');
$config = $app->config('application');
print_r($config);
Output:
Array
(
[key1] => value1
[key2] => value2
)
Importing Files
You can import other YAML files which can be useful to keep all your common parameters in one file and used in others.
parameters.yml
parameters:
db_host: localhost
db_user: username
db_pass: password
db_dbase: database
database.yml
imports:
- { resource: parameters.yml }
database:
hostname: %db_host%
username: %db_user%
password: %db_pass%
database: %db_dbase%
app.php
\BurningDiode\Slim\Config\Yaml::_()->addFile('database.yml');
$db_config = $app->config('database');
print_r($db_config);
Output:
Array
(
[hostname] => localhost
[username] => username
[password] => password
[database] => database
)
