$modules->getConfig() method

  • Applicable only for modules that support configuration.
  • Configuration data is stored encoded in the database "modules" table "data" field.

Available since version 3.0.16. Use method getModuleConfigData() with same arguments for prior versions (can also be used on any version).

Example

// Getting, modifying and saving module config data
$data = $modules->getConfig('HelloWorld');
$data['greeting'] = 'Hello World! How are you today?';
$modules->saveConfig('HelloWorld', $data);

// Getting just one property 'apiKey' from module config data
@apiKey = $modules->getConfig('HelloWorld', 'apiKey'); 

Usage

// basic usage
$array = $modules->getConfig($class);

// usage with all arguments
$array = $modules->getConfig($class, string $property = '');

Arguments

Return value
