Split сonfig web|console.php to small files about yii-base-web

[schmunk42]

I'd find a common.php much more imporant. It would reduce the amout of duplicated config a lot.

_db.php
_urls.php
common.php
console.php
messages.php
web.php

When using sub-configs they should be indicated by some convetions, ie. _ dot-notation or even a subfolder components and/or modules.

components.db.php
components/db.php

components.urlManager.rules.php

@samdark I don't really favour such a change, since it's harder to find a certain piece of configuration.
I'd prefer a very minimal config for the application template.

Use Laravel's config structure as an example:

https://github.com/laravel/laravel/tree/master/config

Combined with .env file it is super simple to adjust config settings. I really don't like putting the actual values in the config files themselves and then doing if (YII_ENV_DEV) everywhere..

[samdark]

Yes, could be done. Would you like to send a pull request?

[samdark]

What do you mean by "harder to find a certain piece of configuration"? Any example of what would be harder to find in this case?

[schmunk42]

In the example above there's ie. the database config read into $db, some other configs are required directly, but i18n is part of the web.php - there's no convention when to use require or a variable.

If I am looking for the cache configuraton I also need to look if it's also included in web and/or console. The more files you have the more logic is required to merge them. And there's currently no way to retrieve the merged configs from the application.

I'd rather prefer to split configs depending on YII_ENV and YII_DEBUG, than by component or module.

[schmunk42]

We're using conventions to add -web or -debug to the config files, but it requires some logic to merge them: https://github.com/dmstr/phd5-app/blob/master/src/config/main.php

everybody want a structure similar to laravel what I don't understand why don't you guys use laravel no offense it is great tool, if you are a yii user then own it I believe yii's current config structure is great and works for most cases although you have the flexibility to change how you like it.
