Keep settings outside of the database

[hanneskod]

To be able to support different database engines we need to bootstrap from settings outside of the db.

A simple ini file should do it. No need for fancy data..

What will happen whit the init command?

This potentially opens a lot of possibilities:

• -c, —configuration option
• giroapp.ini.dist
• DEFAULT_GIROAPP_CONFIG env var
• create default giroapp.ini if missing?

Implementation ideas:

class ConfigManager
{
    Function loadFile(ConfigFile $configFile): void;

    Function getConfig(string $name): ConfigInterface;
}

Class Config
{
    Function getValue(): string;
}

If Config is a promise like this values can be loaded in container (first defaults and then specifics if file exists) and overwritten in command (if specified on command line) and then read throughout the application when needed..

ConfigFile as a simple parse_ini_string() wrapper.
