Manual

Instantiating Strong Typed Config

Creating an instance of Strong Typed Config requires passing an instance of Noodlehaus\Config:

use Noodlehaus\Config;
use SetBased\Config\TypedConfig;

$config = new TypedConfig(new Config('config.json'));

Getting the value of a key

There are two flavors of methods for getting a configuration value:

• Mandatory keys (man for short). These methods will never return a null value.
• Optional keys (opt for short). These methods will return null if the key does not exists or has value null.

All methods will try to cast the value of a key to the required type using package setbased/helper-cast. I.e. if the value of key is string(1) method getManBool will return bool(true) and method getManInt will return int(1).

All methods have two arguments:

1. The key.
2. An optional default value. this value will be returned if the key does not exists or has value null.

The table below gives an overview of all methods for getting the value of a key.

Method	Null Value	Return Type
getManArray	throws an exception	array
getManBool	throws an exception	bool
getManFiniteFloat	throws an exception	float
getManFloat	throws an exception	float
getManInt	throws an exception	int
getManString	throws an exception	string
getOptArray	returns null	array|null
getOptBool	returns null	bool|null
getOptFiniteFloat	returns null	float|null
getOptFloat	returns null	float|null
getOptInt	returns null	int|null
getOptString	returns null	string|null
