How to insert new parameters to config.neon?

medhi

I have users saved in config.neon (https://doc.nette.org/…thentication) and I want to add new users thru a form (web interface). How it is possible?

I think it's no posiible. Config.neon is for configuration, not data store. You need database.

bazo

it is possible.

you need to read the .neon file contents using NeonAdapter, then merge the resulting array with your new data and write it back using NeonAdapter again.

or just use file_get_contents and Neon:decode and vice-versa

Oh, why use the hardcore solution?

config:

parameters:
	users:
		john: password

services:
	- MyAuthenticator(..., %users%)

and authenticator:

class MyAuthenticator extends Nette\Object implements Nette\Security\IAuthenticator
{

	public function __construct(Nette\Database\Context $database, array $users)
	{
		$this->database = $database;
		$this->users = $users;
	}

David Grudl: But how to write a new user into the config? I can't see it in your example. If I am missing something, please be more explanatory.

Filip Procházka

Create file app/config/users.neon that you can write and read using Neon and include it

bazo

how is this different from my solution?

medhi

bazo, Filip: OK, you say work with extra neon file, which is included into main config file. Seems fine.

Filip Procházka

When you have extra config, you simply load only users data, do whatever and write them. You don't rewrite database connections, services, … Which I'm not saing it wouldn't work, it's just not neccesary. Separating the configs feels cleaner.

When I include files in config.neon
includes:
parameters.php

How can I reach variables in parameters.php file?

Filip Procházka

You just return the structure

<?php

return array( // parameters.php
	'parameters' => array(...),
	'nette' => array(...),
);
