# `PhoenixKit.Config`
[🔗](https://github.com/BeamLabEU/phoenix_kit/blob/v1.7.165/lib/phoenix_kit/config/config.ex#L1)

Configuration management system for PhoenixKit.

This module provides a centralized way to manage PhoenixKit configuration
with type-safe getter functions for different data types.

## Usage

    # Get all configuration
    config = PhoenixKit.Config.get_all()

    # Get specific values
    repo = PhoenixKit.Config.get(:repo)
    mailer = PhoenixKit.Config.get(:mailer, PhoenixKit.Mailer)

    # Type-safe getters
    options = PhoenixKit.Config.get_list(:options, [])
    enabled = PhoenixKit.Config.get_boolean(:enabled, false)
    host = PhoenixKit.Config.get_string(:host, "localhost")

      track_anonymous: false

## Admin Dashboard Categories

For detailed information about configuring custom admin dashboard categories,
see `PhoenixKit.Config.AdminDashboardCategories`.

## Type-Safe Functions

- `get_list/2` - Gets configuration values with list type validation
- `get_boolean/2` - Gets configuration values with boolean type validation
- `get_string/2` - Gets configuration values with string type validation

These functions provide automatic type validation and fallback to defaults
when the configuration value is missing or has the wrong type.

# `clear_url_prefix_cache`

```elixir
@spec clear_url_prefix_cache() :: :ok
```

Clears the cached URL prefix.

Call this if you change the url_prefix config at runtime (rare).

# `default_locale`

```elixir
@spec default_locale() :: String.t()
```

Returns the default locale for the application.

Parent apps can override via config:

    config :phoenix_kit,
      default_locale: "es-ES"

Defaults to "en-US" if not configured.

## Examples

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.default_locale()
    "en-US"

    # With custom config:
    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.default_locale()
    "es-ES"

# `get`

```elixir
@spec get(atom()) :: {:ok, any()} | :not_found
```

Gets a specific configuration value.

Uses direct Application.get_env lookup for performance (avoids iterating
all config keys on every call).

# `get`

```elixir
@spec get(atom(), any()) :: any()
```

Gets a specific configuration value with a default.

## Examples

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.get(:mailer, PhoenixKit.Mailer)
    MyApp.Mailer

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.get(:nonexistent, :default)
    :default

# `get_all`

```elixir
@spec get_all() :: Keyword.t()
```

Gets all PhoenixKit configuration.

# `get_base_url`

```elixir
@spec get_base_url() :: String.t()
```

Gets configured host with an optional port or default value.

# `get_boolean`

```elixir
@spec get_boolean(atom(), boolean()) :: boolean()
```

Gets a configuration value as a boolean with type validation.

## Examples

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.get_boolean(:enabled, false)
    true

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.get_boolean(:nonexistent, true)
    true

# `get_dynamic_base_url`

```elixir
@spec get_dynamic_base_url() :: String.t()
```

Gets the base URL dynamically from the parent Phoenix Endpoint if available,
otherwise falls back to the static configuration.

This function automatically detects the correct URL from the running Phoenix
application, which is especially useful in development mode where the port
might be different from the default configuration.

## Examples

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.get_dynamic_base_url()
    "http://localhost:4001"  # from Phoenix Endpoint

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.get_dynamic_base_url()
    "http://localhost:4000"  # fallback to static config

# `get_list`

```elixir
@spec get_list(atom(), list()) :: list()
```

Gets a configuration value as a list with type validation.

## Examples

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.get_list(:options, [])
    []

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.get_list(:nonexistent, [:default])
    [:default]

# `get_mailer`

```elixir
@spec get_mailer() :: module()
```

Gets the configured mailer module.

Returns the configured mailer or falls back to PhoenixKit.Mailer.

## Examples

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.get_mailer()
    MyApp.Mailer

# `get_parent_app`

```elixir
@spec get_parent_app() :: atom() | nil
```

Gets the parent application name that is using PhoenixKit.

This function attempts to detect the main application that has included
PhoenixKit as a dependency.

# `get_parent_app_config`

```elixir
@spec get_parent_app_config(atom(), any()) :: any()
```

Gets configuration from the parent application.

This is useful for accessing parent app mailer, endpoint, or other configurations
that PhoenixKit needs to integrate with.

# `get_parent_endpoint`

```elixir
@spec get_parent_endpoint() :: {:ok, module()} | :error
```

Gets the parent application's Phoenix Endpoint module.

This function attempts to detect the main application's endpoint that is using
PhoenixKit as a dependency.

Returns `{:ok, endpoint_module}` if found, `:error` otherwise.

# `get_parent_endpoint_url`

```elixir
@spec get_parent_endpoint_url() :: {:ok, String.t()} | :error
```

Gets the parent Phoenix Endpoint URL if the endpoint is available and running.

Returns `{:ok, url}` if successful, `:error` if the endpoint cannot be found
or accessed.

# `get_repo`

```elixir
@spec get_repo() :: module() | nil
```

Gets the configured repository module.

# `get_repo!`

```elixir
@spec get_repo!() :: module()
```

Gets the configured repository module, raising an error if not found.

## Examples

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.get_repo!()
    MyApp.Repo

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.get_repo!()
    ** (ArgumentError) PhoenixKit repository not configured. Please set config :phoenix_kit, repo: YourApp.Repo

# `get_string`

```elixir
@spec get_string(atom(), String.t()) :: String.t()
```

Gets a configuration value as a string with type validation.

## Examples

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.get_string(:host, "localhost")
    "example.com"

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.get_string(:nonexistent, "default")
    "default"

# `get_url_prefix`

```elixir
@spec get_url_prefix() :: String.t()
```

Gets configured prefix for urls or default value.

This value is cached using :persistent_term for performance since it's
called on every tab path match during dashboard renders.

# `get_users_module`

```elixir
@spec get_users_module() :: module()
```

Gets the configured users module.

# `mailer_local?`

```elixir
@spec mailer_local?() :: boolean()
```

Checks if the configured mailer adapter is the local adapter.

Returns true if the mailer is configured to use Swoosh.Adapters.Local,
which is typically used for development and testing environments where
emails are stored locally rather than being sent to actual recipients.

## Examples

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.mailer_local?
    true  # when using Swoosh.Adapters.Local

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.mailer_local?
    false  # when using a real mailer like SMTP or SendGrid

    :ok

# `user_dashboard_enabled?`

```elixir
@spec user_dashboard_enabled?() :: boolean()
```

Gets the user dashboard enabled flag.

Returns true if the user dashboard is enabled, false otherwise.
This can be used to conditionally show/hide dashboard routes and navigation.

## Examples

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.user_dashboard_enabled?()
    true

    iex> PhoenixKit.Config.user_dashboard_enabled?()
    false

# `validate_required!`

Validates that required configuration is present.

Raises an exception if any required keys are missing.

## Examples

    PhoenixKit.Config.validate_required!([:repo, :secret_key_base])
