Config

All application configuration is in App/Config folder. There you can have 2 files: local.php and global.php
global.php file is overwritten by the file local.php

A minimal configuration looks like this:

return array(
    'language_code' => 'en',
    'database' => array(
        'type'      => 'mysql',
        'host'      => '',
        'name'      => '',
        'user'      => '',
        'password'  => '',
    ),
    'settings_table' => 'crt_settings',
    'session_prefix' => 'crt_',
    'default_timezone' => 'Europe/Bucharest',
    'crater_error_handler'  => true,
    'default_template'  => 'default',
);

language_code: Default language of application
database: Database connection parameters (necessary only if you use databases)
settings_table: Name of settings table (necessary only if you use databases)
session_prefix: The prefix is highly recommended, its very useful when sharing databases with other applications, to avoid conflicts.
default_timezone: The timezone to your local
crater_error_handler: enable/disable the custom error logger
default_template: Set the default template of application

Config system is designed to simplify access to configuration data within applications. Do you have a configuration file like the one below:

return array(
    /* ... */
    'default_timezone' => 'Europe/Bucharest',
    'crater_error_handler'  => true,
    'default_template'  => 'default',
    'services' = array(
        'facebook' => array(
            'app_id' => 1234,
            'secret' => 'abcdefghijklm'
        )
    )
);

For accessing the Facebook credentials in your controller, you will use:

$config = new \Core\Config();
$facebook = $config->getConfig()['services']['facebook'];

$appId = $facebook['app_id'];
$secret = $facebook['secret'];
