This is a proof of concept that would allow "smart merging" of configuration options. Right now Laravel 11 "shallow" merges application config with the frame defaults. However, many config files like database, filesystems, mail, etc have a "main" option which is nested. This PR creates a registry of those "main" options and does an additional merge for them.
This would allow developers to further slim their configuration files while reducing the possibility of removing a core configuration option. For example, only customizing
mysql
database driver, while still usingsqlite
for testing. Or adding additionaldisks
, but still using the defaultlocal
ors3
disks.
