Build Status

Environment Plugin for CakePHP

for CakePHP 2.x

Requirement

  • PHP version: PHP 5.2+
  • CakePHP version: 2.x Stable

Installation

  • Clone/Copy the files in this diectory into app/Plugin/Environment
  • Ensure the plugin is loaded in app/Config/bootstrap.php by calling CakePlugin::load('Environment', array('bootstrap' => true))

Using Composer

Add the plugin to your project's composer.json - something like this:

	{
	    "require": {
	        "quest/cakephp-environment": "master"
	    }
	}

Because this plugin has the type cakephp-plugin set in its own composer.json, Composer will install it inside your /Plugins directory, rather than in the usual vendors file. It is recommended that you add /Plugins/Environment to your .gitignore file. (Why? read this.)

Manual

GIT Submodule

In your app directory type:

  git submodule add -b master git://github.com/quest/cakephp-environment.git Plugin/Environment
  git submodule init
  git submodule update

GIT Clone

In your Plugin directory type:

    git clone -b master git://github.com/quest/cakephp-environment.git Environment

Enable plugin

In 2.0 you need to enable the plugin in your app/Config/bootstrap.php file:

    CakePlugin::load('Environment', array('bootstrap' => true));

Usage

Create file app/Config/env.php with this example content.

	/**
	 * Domains environments
	 * IMPORTANT: This lines on the top of the file
	 */
		Configure::write('Environment.domains', array(
			'development' => '.*',
			'production' => '^(.+\.)?mysite\.com$'
		));

	/**
	 * Development settings
	 */
		Environment::write(array(
			'debug' => 2,
			'Security.salt' => '6978hjkhKjkhskjhd698KGNSLdsDLsdKSAsdf8778sdfg',
			'Security.cipherSeed' => '57283694289374902834892039823756894'
		), 'development');

	/**
	 * Production settings
	 */
		Environment::write(array(
			'debug' => 0
		), 'production');

Environment Detection

In order to detect the project environment and apply their settings, use the application hostname, just like this:

	Configure::write('Environment.domains', array(
		'development' => '^myapp\.local$',
		'production' => '^mycapp\.com$'
	));

You must use regex to define the hostname. You can create many environments as you want.

Methods

Environment::get()

Get the current environment depending on hostname requested:

	echo Environment::get(); // print 'development' text

Environment::set(string $environment)

Avoid set the environment based on hostname request, by using set() method. It will overwrite any other environment previously settled.

	Environment::set('testing'); // true

Environment::is(string $environment)

Use this method to check the current/working environment.

	if (Environment::is('development')) {
		echo 'this is development';
	}
	else {
		echo 'this is ' . Environment::get();
	}

Environment::write()

You can write environment settings by using the write() method in two ways:

Multiple

	Environment::write(array(
		'debug' => 2,
		'database' => array(
			'login' => 'root',
			'host' => 'localhost',
			'password' => '',
		)
	), 'development');

Single

	Environment::write('debug', 0, 'production');

Environment::read()

Read environment settings by using the read() method:

  • $key: Key to find
  • $environment: Optional — Environment scope
	// databases.php
	class DATABASE_CONFIG {

		public $default = array(
			'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
			'persistent' => false,
			'host' => Environment::read('database.host'),
			'login' => Environment::read('database.login'),
			'password' => Environment::read('database.password'),
			'database' => 'database_name',
			'prefix' => '',
			'encoding' => 'utf8',
		);
	}

Environment::write() also can be used to update or modify Cake's app/Config/core.php file settings. For example:

	/**
	 * Development settings
	 */
		Environment::write(array(
			'debug' => 2,
			'Security.salt' => '6978hjkhKjkhskjhd698KGNSLdsDLsdKSAsdf8778sdfg',
			'Security.cipherSeed' => '57283694289374902834892039823756894'
		), 'development');

	/**
	 * Production settings
	 */
		Environment::write(array(
			'debug' => 0,
			'Security.salt' => '6978hjkhKjkhskjhd698KGNSLdsDLsdKSAsdf8778sdfg',
			'Security.cipherSeed' => '57283694289374902834892039823756894'
		), 'production');
