Exactly -- as long as you return an array or Traversable from
YouModule\Module::getConfig(), you're fine. The
config/module.config.php is just a suggestion. You can perform any
logic to load any config yo would like in a getConfig() method. For
example, you could use Zend\Config to load an ini instead of including
a php file/array if you wanted to. Zend Framework itself makes no
assumptions about what's is within a module besides Module.php.
To clarify:
class Module
{
public function getConfig()
{
return include __DIR__ . '/config/module.config.php';
}
}
With config/module.config.php like this:
<?php
return array('foo' => 'bar');
?>
Is functionally identical to:
class Module
{
public function getConfig()
{
return array('foo' => 'bar');
}
}
or..
class Module
{
public function getConfig()
{
return new \Zend\Config\Config(array('foo' => 'bar'));
}
}
