Java properties configuration file reader (separator) / Writer

[nuxwin]

Good morning,

Could it be possible to make us able to setup the separator to use for the Java propertie configuration file reader? Right now, the colon sign is hardcoded, making us unable to change it by equal sign which should be also supported. You should also maybe considere a new option allowing to remove leading and trailing whitespaces from resulting key/value pairs.

For now, we have not other choice than doing i-MSCP/imscp@69df562
and then:

namespace iMSCP;

use iMSCP\Config\Reader\JavaProperties;
use iMSCP\Config\StandaloneReaderPluginManager;
use Zend\Config\Config;
use Zend\Config\Factory;

// Load default settings, that is, those that are overridable by administrator through GUI
$config = new Config(include_once 'default_settings.php', true);

// Load and merge settings from master i-MSCP configuration file.
// We need set our own JavaProperties configuration file reader as
// the one provided by ZF doesn't handle equal sign as separator
Factory::setReaderPluginManager(new StandaloneReaderPluginManager());
Factory::registerReader('conf', JavaProperties::class);
$config->merge(new Config(Factory::fromFile(CONFIG_FILE_PATH)));

Regarding the above code, maybe that the standalone reader plugin manager should also accept custom definitions because right now, we need provide our own.

Finally, could you provide a writer implementation for that configuration file type?

Thank you.

Accomplished in:

• Adds ability to specify delimiter for key/value pairs #45 (custom delimiters)
• Adds JavaProperties reader option to trim whitespace from keys and values #46 (whitespace trimming option)
• Adds JavaProperties writer #47 (JavaProperties writer)

These will release with 3.2.0 shortly.
