Inject Settings from other packages

Using Neos & Flow
1

Hello everyone!

I’m using a “top level” package “Framework” (Neos Flow 6.3.0), which contains functions usable for all other packages.

Currently I’m building a FileUploadService in the Framework package. However, which file type, which file size etc is allowed is stored in the package related configuration yaml files of the other packages.

In Framework I have to inject the settings from the other packages. Using the following code, I’m just getting the setttings of the Framework package:

    /**
     * @var array
     * @Flow\InjectConfiguration()
     */
    protected $fileUploadSettings;

Something like

    /**
     * @var array
     * @Flow\InjectConfiguration(package="ALL")
     */
    protected $fileUploadSettings;

would be nice.

Until now, I’m fetching all the settings via signal/slot. Is there a more elegant way?

Thank you!

Tobias

if i understand correctly you dont just want the all the settings of package a or b but ALL the settings… ?

you can just simply ask the ConfigurationManager and call the getConfiguration(‘settings’) (or similar, look up the code ^^)

maybe even objects.yaml could help, by specifing that settings should be used for a certain property, but not accessing a specific path like: propertyA: settings: ""

edit:
or use object yaml with the ConfigurationManager as factory … see Inject Settings from other packages - #9 by Marc

You can get the configuration via package key and path like so:

              /**
               * Setting from current package 
               * 
               * @var string
               * @Flow\InjectConfiguration("administrator.name")
               */
              protected $name;

              /**
               * Setting from "SomeOther.Package" package 
               * 
               * @var string
               * @Flow\InjectConfiguration(path="email", package="SomeOther.Package")
               */
              protected $emailAddress;

Dear Marc!

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. "you dont just want the all the settings of package a or b but ALL the settings… " Yes, you’re right. In the worst case Framework package doesn’t know, which other packages are installed.

Following your suggestions, I tried the following:

/**
 * @var ConfigurationManager
 * @Flow\Inject
 */
protected $configurationManager;

…

    $this->configurationManager->registerConfigurationType(ConfigurationManager::CONFIGURATION_PROCESSING_TYPE_SETTINGS);
    $settings = $this->configurationManager->getConfiguration(ConfigurationManager::CONFIGURATION_PROCESSING_TYPE_SETTINGS);

    echo "<pre>";
    var_dump($settings);
    echo "</pre>"; die;

$settings is an empty array :frowning: Any idea what I missed?

Again thank you very much for your help!

Dear Martin,

thank you very much for your help. How to inject settings of a specific package I know. However, in the worst case the Framework package does not know, wich other packages are installed. Therefore, I’m looking for a more generic way…

The ./flow configuartion:show command does pretty much what you want in lines 69-73 flow-development-collection/ConfigurationCommandController.php at 8.3 · neos/flow-development-collection · GitHub

Martin, you’re great. Thank you! I used the wrong constant. Now it’s working:

    $this->configurationManager->registerConfigurationType(ConfigurationManager::CONFIGURATION_TYPE_SETTINGS);
    $settings = $this->configurationManager->getConfiguration(ConfigurationManager::CONFIGURATION_TYPE_SETTINGS);

i played a bit around :wink: you probably know that flow will automaticaly inject the current packages settings, if you have a injectSettings method right Configuration — Flow Framework dev-master documentation?

you can have the same for all settings - it might be a bit over engineered but here we go:

<?php
namespace Foo\Bar;

class Lol
{
    public function injectAllSettings(array $settings)
    {
        // global settings
    }

    public function injectSettings(array $settings)
    {
        // local package settings
    }
}

Foo\Bar\Lol:
  properties:
    allSettings:
      object:
        factoryObjectName: Neos\Flow\Configuration\ConfigurationManager
        factoryMethodName: getConfiguration
        arguments:
          1:
            value: "%Neos\\Flow\\Configuration\\ConfigurationManager::CONFIGURATION_TYPE_SETTINGS%"

tested it works :stuck_out_tongue: - merry christmas!
