configuration - How to use the global.php/local.php configs in the getConfig() of a module in a Zend Framework 2 application? -

in zf2 application have cofigs, that: 1. need different dependening on environment; 2. specific concrete module. i'm curently using here described:

global.php & local.php

return array(     ...     'modules' => array(         'cache' => array(             'ttl' => 1, // 1 second         )     )     ... ); 

module class

module {     ...     public function getserviceconfig() {         try {             return array (                 'factories' => array(                     'zend\cache\adapter\memcachedoptions' => function ($servicemanager) {                         return new memcachedoptions(array(                             'ttl'           => $this->getconfig()['modules']['cache']['ttl'],                             ...                         ));                     },                     ...                 )             );         }         ...     }     ... } 

it's working fine, believe, module specific settings should accessed on 1 central place in module -- getconfig() method of module class. this:

class module {      public function getconfig() {         $moduleconfig = include __dir__ . '/config/module.config.php';         $application = $this->getapplicationsomehow(); // <-- how?         $applicationmoduleconfig = $application->getconfig()['modules'][__namespace__];         $config = array_merge($moduleconfig, $applicationmoduleconfig);         return $config;     }     ...     public function getserviceconfig() {         try {             return array (                 'factories' => array(                     'zend\cache\adapter\memcachedoptions' => function ($servicemanager) {                         return new memcachedoptions(array(                             'ttl'            => $servicemanager->get('config')['modules']['cache']['ttl'],                             ...                         ));                     },                     ...                 )             );         }         ...     }     ... } 

the problem is, don't get, how access global.php/local.php configs in getconfig() of module. how can it?

every single configuration of every single loaded module merged 1 single config. namely be:

$servicemanager->get('config'); 

the reason behind (global|local).config.php merely usage purpose. global configuration files should deployed. local configuration files should deployed distributionables, alias local.config.php.dist.

distributionals not loaded, no matter places. common notion of zf2 copy distributionables /config/autoload-directory of zf2 application , rename them local.config.php

one example:

// yourmodule/config/module.config.php return array(     'key' => 1337 );  // yourmodule/config/local.yourmodule.php.dist return array(     'key' => 7331 ); 

now when publish / deploy application, module.config.php used. if wants change configuration of module, never touch module.config.php, file overwritten when module updated.

however people can copy:

yourmodule/config/local.yourmodule.php.dist /config/autoload/local.yourmodule.php 

and change config values inside local configuration.

to understand:

• you should configure module best possible live-scenario.
• if have environment-specific needs, overwrite config using local-config
• local configs never deployed automatically, manual task needing done inside environment itself

hope got little more clear

ultimately:

• configure module live-scenario
• on development machine create /config/autoload/mymodule.local.php , overwrite ttl it's development value

loadorder:

the last interesting part, have forgotten about, load order of configuration files. files merged, important note!

• first load /config/application.config.php
• second load each modules /modules/{module}/config/module.config.php *
• last not least autoloadable files loaded /config/autoload/{filename}.php

asterix not module.config.php called, rather module-classes configuration functions. these are:

• getconfig()
• getserviceconfig()
• getviewhelperconfig()
• ultimately under zend\modulemanager\feature\{feature}providerinterface

if understand this part of configlistener correctly, getconfig() called first , of specialiced {feature}providerinterfaces overwrite data of getconfig(), don't take granted, need check!
