public function Config::get

Gets data from this config object.

Parameters

string $key: A string that maps to a key within the configuration data. For instance in the following configuation array:

array(
  'foo' => array(
    'bar' => 'baz',
  ),
);

A key of 'foo.bar' would return the string 'baz'. However, a key of 'foo' would return array('bar' => 'baz'). If no key is specified, then the entire data array is returned.

The configuration system does not retain data types. Every saved value is casted to a string. In most cases this is not an issue; however, it can cause issues with Booleans, which are casted to "1" (TRUE) or "0" (FALSE). In particular, code relying on === or !== will no longer function properly.

Return value

mixed The data that was requested.
