CakePHP Constants Definition

Question

I want to include the Google API in my application. I want to define the Outh2 key, the secret key and the developer keys as constants that I can call and use in the application controller.

Which place is best identified?

Answer 1

/app/Config/bootstrap.php

I would not set them as constants, I would use the configure class to store them:

Configure::write(array( 'outh2.key'=>'foo', 'outh2.secret_key'=>'bar', 'outh2.dev_key'=>'baz' )); $key = Configure::read('outh2.key');
