PimpleConfig is a simple multi-environment configuration for Pimple/Silex with secret storage support

Install

composer install f3ath/pimple-config

Configuration structure

Environment-specific config

A config is a file named <environment_name>.php which returns an array:

<?php
// dev.php
return [
    'debug' => true,
    'foo' => [
        'bar' => 'baz'
    ]
];

To reduce duplication, here is some sort of "inheritance":

<?php
// stage.php
return array_replace_recursive(require __DIR__ . '/common.php', [ // inherit from common config
    'debug' => false,
]);

Secret config

It is a healthy practice to store sensitive data like passwords outside of the repository. The simplest implementation would be to store such files right on the server. These files may be edited directly, so they should not be php scripts, since it's easy to accidentally remove the <?php header and expose their content. A natural choice in this case is JSON. PimpleConfig supports a special secret_json key to include such files.

<?php
// prod.php
return array_replace_recursive(require __DIR__ . '/common.php', [ // inherit from common config
    'secret_json' => '/etc/my_application/secret.json',
    'debug' => false,
]);

Services

Pimple services are configured in the set of files in the services directory. In your configuration you define:

<?php
// common.php
return [
    'services' => [
        'application'   => __DIR__ . '/services/application.php',
        'storage'       => __DIR__ . '/services/storage.php',
        'controllers'   => __DIR__ . '/services/controllers.php',
    ],
];

A service config is a php script which returns a special function:

<?php
// services/application.php
return function (\Pimple\Container $container, array $config, string $env) {
    $container['hello'] = function () use ($config, $env) {
        // here you create and return a service the Pimple way
    };
};

Register the configuration

   <?php
   $pimple = new \Pimple\Container();
   $env_name = 'prod';
   $config_root = '/path-to-config';
   $pimple->register(new \F3\PimpleConfig\Config($config_root, $env_name));

For more examples see the unit test.
