Configuration Overview

Beauty Framework provides a clean and structured configuration system based on PHP arrays and .env variables. All configuration files are stored in the config/ directory.

You can access configuration values anywhere using the config() helper:

$debug = config('app.debug');

🔍 How It Works​

  • Each file in config/ returns an associative array.
  • Configuration keys follow the format: filename.key (e.g., app.name, cache.default)
  • Environment variables can be used inside config files with the env() helper.

🧭 Key Files​

  • app.php — general app settings
  • cache.php — caching drivers and stores
  • database.php — DB connections
  • middlewares.php — global middlewares
  • router.php — controller discovery
  • event-listeners.php — event to listener mapping
  • kv-storage.php — key-value backend
  • commands.php — console commands

🌍 Environment Variables​

Define .env in your root project directory. Example:

APP_NAME="Beauty Framework"
APP_DEBUG=true
DB_CONNECTION=pgsql

Values from .env are read via the env() function and used in config/*.php files.

This system keeps your application clean, centralized, and environment-aware.
