Config Service
Simple Example
This service will read items from a config file. By default all add-ons have a config directory located at ./config/ relative to their addon.setup.php file. To fetch items from your config simply do:
ee('Config')->get('my_addon:my_config.my_item'); Note: This does not replace ee()->config
