config() ¶ public
config(string|array|null $key = null, mixed|null $value = null, bool $merge = true): mixedUsage
Reading the whole config:
$this->config();Reading a specific value:
$this->config('key');Reading a nested value:
$this->config('some.nested.key');Setting a specific value:
$this->config('key', $value);Setting a nested value:
$this->config('some.nested.key', $value);Updating multiple config settings at the same time:
$this->config(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);Parameters
- 
                string|array|null$key optional

- Whether to recursively merge or overwrite existing config, defaults to true. 
Returns
mixedConfig value being read, or the object itself on write operations.
Throws
Cake\Core\Exception\ExceptionWhen trying to set a key that is invalid.
configShallow() ¶ public

- The value to set. 
Returns
$thisThe object itself.
hash() ¶ public
hash(string|array $password): bool|stringGenerates password hash.
