[FEATURE] move connector config to a separate file

[Narayanbhat166]

Feature Description

Currently all the connector configuration is present in the development.toml file. But this configuration is not developer specific, this remains the same whoever uses it, this configuration is based on the application and it should not be tweaked by the developer or else it would cause some features to not work.

Possible Implementation

Move the configuration to a separate file and if possible in a better format ( the layout and keys can be changed as per the needs, but file format has to be TOML only ) so that the application can read it easily. After making this change, all the places where this config is read has to be changed to read from a single file.

I have assigned this issue to you. Let me know if you need more clarifications on this.

[MehmetTerc]

can you describe the issue a little bit clearer

[Narayanbhat166]

We use this file to store all the developer related configuration like, the database password, log level etc. There is also connector ( you can treat connector as a payment gateway going forward ) configuration present in it. This connector configuration tells about the base url that should be used when calling the connector, List of countries and currencies supported by a connector etc. The connector configuration is developer independent and remains the same whoever uses it. It should not be changed unless you know what you are dealing with.

So it is better to move these connector related configuration to a separate file and make necessary changes to read this file at the start of application.

Few examples of connnector configuration keys are

[connectors.supported]
[connectors]
[connectors.zen]
[bank_config.eps]
[bank_config.ideal]

[pm_filters.stripe]
[pm_filters.worldpay]

[pm_filters.forte]
[connector_customer]
[tokenization]
