Configs

Apiato configs are just Laravel configs, and they function in the exact same way as Laravel configs. However, they come with additional rules and conventions specific to Apiato.

To generate new configs, you may use the apiato:make:configuration interactive command:

php artisan apiato:make:configuration

Rules​

  • Containers MAY have as many config files as they need.
  • All container-specific config files MUST be placed in the app/Containers/{Section}/{Container}/Configs directory.
  • All general config files MUST be placed in the app/Ship/Configs directory.
  • All Laravel config files MUST be kept in the root config folder.
  • You MUST NOT add any config files to the root config folder.

Code Example​

Configs are defined exactly as you would define them in Laravel.

Container Main Config File​

It is recommended that each container possesses a primary configuration file. While it is not obligatory, adhering to this practice prevents clashes between third-party package configurations and container-specific configurations.

The primary configuration file of a container should be named in accordance with a certain convention: camelCase representation of the container's Section name, succeeded by -, and then the camelCase representation of the Container name.

For instance, if you have a container named "MyContainer" within the "MySection" section, the configuration file would be named mySection-myContainer.php.

Configuration​

Apiato is configured to load all config files in the app/Containers/{Section}/{Container}/Configs and app/Ship/Configs directories.

If the default configuration does not suit your needs, you can customize it via the Apiato Configuration class.
