Globals

Globals solves the problem of providing user editable configuration properties by giving developers an API for providing these properties.

Usage

Globals provides a hook for declaring global properties, as well as a functions for getting these values back for later use.

Current hook documentation is available in the globals.api.php file.

There are two primary functions for retrieving these values:

<?php
/**
 * Get a global value.
 *
 * A useful shorthand for accessing the Globals object.
 *
 * @param string $key
 *   Key to access
 *
 * @return mixed
 *   Result of the global
 */
function globals_get($key) {
  return Globals::init()->getGlobalValue($key);
}

/**
 * Get a global value filtered.
 *
 * @param string $key
 *   Global value key
 * @param string $check_function
 *   Filter name. Defaults to 'check_plain'. If you provide another filter
 *   value, its up to you to ensure the output is secure.
 *
 * @return mixed
 *   Result of the query.
 * @throws DrupalghostExceptionGhostException
 */
function globals_filter($key, $check_function = 'check_plain') {
  return Globals::init()->getFilteredValue($key, $check_function);
}
?>
