Parameters

The meaning of parameters in this extension is the availability of some configuration or other information to all extensions. Imagine you want all your dates formatted in the same way, being it called from PHP, Fluid or Javascript. Just copy parameters.yml.dist from xm_tools’ root folder to parameters.yml and fill your data you want to have available anywhere. Add any configuration in YAML style.

The Servcies class looks for an existing parameters.yml, parses (and caches it) and makes it available. If you want to have the parameters available in Javascript, enable it by configuring xm_tools to do so (see Configuration). This will generate a Javascript file and make it load. Your translations are available in Javascript through:

...
xmTools.getParameter('dateFormat');
