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

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
