In depth
In the previous chapters you have learned how Jet\Config works from the application perspective. Thus, you have the information you need for your normal development. However, if you want a more "under the hood" look, you've come to the right place. We will show you what classes make up Jet\Config, what they are for and what they can do.
| Class | Importance |
|---|---|
| Jet\Config | You have already encountered this class in previous chapters. It is the main class and also the class from which the configuration definition classes inherit. |
| Jet\Config_Section | The parent class for the configuration section defining classes. |
| Jet\Config_Definition | Allows you to retrieve instance definitions of configuration classes and configuration section classes. |
| Jet\Config_Definition_Config | The class represents a configuration class definition. |
| Jet\Config_Definition_Config_Section | Configuration section definition. |
| Jet\Config_Definition_Property | Basic class for defining properties/configuration values. |
| Jet\Config_Definition_Property_String | Property / configuration value definition class of type Config::TYPE_STRING |
| Jet\Config_Definition_Property_Bool | Property definitions / configuration values of type Config::TYPE_BOOL |
| Jet\Config_Definition_Property_Float | Property definitions / configuration values of type Config::TYPE_FLOAT |
| Jet\Config_Definition_Property_Int | Property definitions / configuration values of type Config::TYPE_INT |
| Jet\Config_Definition_Property_Array | Property definitions / configuration values of type Config::TYPE_ARRAY |
| Jet\Config_Definition_Property_Section | Property definitions / configuration values of type Config::TYPE_SECTION |
| Jet\Config_Definition_Property_Sections | Property definitions / configuration values of type Config::TYPE_SECTIONS |
| Jet\Config_Exception | Exception for Jet\Config. Warning! For example, an I/O exception may be thrown during a save. But if you change the backend implementation, any other exception can be thrown. Thus, it is a good idea to allow for arbitrary class exceptions. |
