Environment

Summary

Many times you will want to have a development environment that is separate from your production environment. SECC makes it easy to separate your environments with a simple json configuration file.

Usage

The environment.json should contain all of your environment specific information such as database credentials or email server information. It's located in the root of the framework directory and can be extended in anyway you see fit. To make a new configuration element you must create a new json object that will act as the parent of the configuration details that you wish to store. In the example provided there are some preset environment configurations, lets take a look at the hash settings. In the configuration file you will find an object named hash... it looks like this...

    "hash":
	{
		"algo": 1,
		"cost": 10
	},  

The key is hash and the settings are algo and cost with their respective values. To access these values you must make use of the config service. You can access configuration values with the following call to

Config::get() 

App::service('Config')->get('name-of-config-element')  

This works for any values that you wish to store in addition to the elements that have been provided for you.
