Namespace: Cake\Core

Property Summary

  • $_config protected
    array<string, mixed>

    Runtime config

  • $_configInitialized protected
    bool

    Whether the config property has already been configured with defaults

Method Summary

Method Detail

_configDelete() protected

_configDelete(string $key): void

Deletes a single config key.

Parameters

string $key

Key to delete.

Returns

void

Throws

Cake\Core\Exception\CakeException
if attempting to clobber existing config

_configRead() protected

_configRead(string|null $key): mixed

Reads a config key.

Parameters

string|null $key

Key to read.

Returns

mixed

_configWrite() protected

_configWrite(array<string, mixed>|string $key, mixed $value, string|bool $merge = false): void

Writes a config key.

Parameters

array<string, mixed>|string $key

Key to write to.

mixed $value

Value to write.

string|bool $merge optional

True to merge recursively, 'shallow' for simple merge, false to overwrite, defaults to false.

Returns

void

Throws

Cake\Core\Exception\CakeException
if attempting to clobber existing config

configShallow() public

configShallow(array<string, mixed>|string $key, mixed|null $value = null): $this

Merge provided config with existing config. Unlike config() which does a recursive merge for nested keys, this method does a simple merge.

Setting a specific value:

$this->configShallow('key', $value);

Setting a nested value:

$this->configShallow('some.nested.key', $value);

Updating multiple config settings at the same time:

$this->configShallow(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);

Parameters

array<string, mixed>|string $key

The key to set, or a complete array of configs.

mixed|null $value optional

The value to set.

Returns

$this

getConfig() public

getConfig(string|null $key = null, mixed $default = null): mixed

Returns the config.

Usage

Reading the whole config:

$this->getConfig();

Reading a specific value:

$this->getConfig('key');

Reading a nested value:

$this->getConfig('some.nested.key');

Reading with default value:

$this->getConfig('some-key', 'default-value');

Parameters

string|null $key optional

The key to get or null for the whole config.

mixed $default optional

The return value when the key does not exist.

Returns

mixed

getConfigOrFail() public

getConfigOrFail(string $key): mixed

Returns the config for this specific key.

The config value for this key must exist, it can never be null.

Parameters

string $key

The key to get.

Returns

mixed

Throws

InvalidArgumentException

setConfig() public

setConfig(array<string, mixed>|string $key, mixed|null $value = null, bool $merge = true): $this

Sets the config.

Usage

Setting a specific value:

$this->setConfig('key', $value);

Setting a nested value:

$this->setConfig('some.nested.key', $value);

Updating multiple config settings at the same time:

$this->setConfig(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);

Parameters

array<string, mixed>|string $key

The key to set, or a complete array of configs.

mixed|null $value optional

The value to set.

bool $merge optional

Whether to recursively merge or overwrite existing config, defaults to true.

Returns

$this

Throws

Cake\Core\Exception\CakeException
When trying to set a key that is invalid.
