Good Practices

Use the Config Facade

The library provides a built-in Config facade that gives you static access to the container from anywhere in your code.

Initialize Once

Initialize the Config facade early in your application bootstrap:

<?php
use ByJG\Config\Config;
use ByJG\Config\Definition;
use ByJG\Config\Environment;

// In your bootstrap/initialization file
$devConfig = new Environment('dev');
$prodConfig = new Environment('prod', [$devConfig]);

$definition = (new Definition())
    ->addEnvironment($devConfig)
    ->addEnvironment($prodConfig);

// Initialize the Config facade
Config::initialize($definition);

Use Throughout Your Application

Once initialized, you can use Config anywhere:

<?php
use ByJG\Config\Config;

// Get a value from the configuration
$value = Config::get('property1');

// Use the container for dependency injection
$square = Config::get(\Example\Square::class);

// Get raw values (without processing)
$closure = Config::raw('some_closure');

// Check if a key exists
if (Config::has('api_key')) {
    $apiKey = Config::get('api_key');
}

Benefits

• No need to pass the container instance around
• Clean, simple syntax
• Familiar pattern (similar to Laravel's Config facade)
• Easy to test (use Config::reset() in tests)
