Get plugin config values without providing prefix or fallback

I’ve taken both @lukaskleinschmidt @lukasbestle approaches and made something new out of it:

namespace PluginName;
use c;

class settings {
    public static function __callStatic($name, $args) {
        // Set prefix
        $prefix = 'plugin.name.';

        // Set config names and fallbacks as settings
        $settings = [
            'log'   => false,
            'slug'  => 'sync',
            'token' => 'token',
        ];

        // If config settings exists, return the config with fallback
        if(isset($settings) && array_key_exists($name, $settings)) {
            return c::get($prefix . $name, $settings[$name]);
    }
}

In the config.php file you can add something like this:

c::set('plugin.name.log', 'logfile.txt');

And get it inside the plugin with:

echo settings::log();

I think it ended up beautifully. Any improvement appreciated.

I think I will name this new baby… “Lukas” :baby:

Update: I added array_key_exists to also allow NULL values to be used
