How about possibilities to autoload all config file, something like :

$provider = new \werx\Config\Providers\ArrayProvider('/path/to/config/directory');
$config = new \werx\Config\Container($provider);
$config->load(); // should autoload all config file

It will be difficult if you have a lot of config files, such us app.php, db.php, email.php, language.php, many more and must present every config file in$config->load(['app', 'db', 'email', 'language'], true);

Or whether it should indeed like it ?

btw, can i have an example to using this container in function ? something like :

return [
    'foo' => 'Foo',
    'foobar' => [
        'foo' => 'Foo',
        'bar' => 'Bar' 
    ]
];

echo config('foo') // Foo 
echo config('foobar.bar') // Bar

@adrianug - I'm not big on scanning and loading a whole directory of config files. That seems terribly inefficient.

I'd rather see this approached as "load on demand".

Here's an example using your example array, stored in a file named "stuff.php" in the config directory.

$provider = new \werx\Config\Providers\ArrayProvider('/path/to/config/directory');
$config = new \werx\Config\Container($provider);
$config->load('stuff', true); // This is the line we want to remove, and auto load it when we use the "stuff" index key to access a config value.

var_dump($config->get('stuff.foo');
var_dump($config->get('stuff.foobar');

/*
string(3) "Foo"
array(2) {
  ["foo"]=>
  string(3) "Foo"
  ["bar"]=>
  string(3) "Bar"
}
*/

Would this load-on-demand work for you?

The config class isn't going to be able to drill down into the array to get to get the value of nested array items like foobar.bar. All it can do is return the value of the the top-level array keys, which happens to be another array in the case of foobar

btw, there was a typo in your array example. Missing closing "]" for foobar.

@joshmoody after i think again about autoload all config file, i agree it's going to look messy and inefficient

And while for nested array, i looking for array dot notation something like stuff.foobar.bar

Base on walkConfig method, now only possible with : stuff.foobar:bar. Just trying, not so sure either :

$group = 'stuff.foobar.bar';
$provider = new \werx\Config\Providers\ArrayProvider('/path/to/config/directory');
$config = new \werx\Config\Container($provider);
$config->load([$group], true);

// {first = file}.{last = key}
if (mb_strpos($group, '.') === false) {
    $index = false;
} else {
    list($group, $index) = explode('.', $group, 2);
}

$config->load([$group], true);

$value = $index ? $config->$group(str_replace('.', ':', $index)) : $config->all($group);

print_r($value); // Bar

And make it into a function, so i can call with config(stuff.foobar.bar);

Just feels more comfortable stuff.foobar.bar than stuff.foobar:bar

Typo in example array is already fix, sorry ;)
