Backport ApplicationContext from Flow
100%
Description
Flow has the notion of ApplicationContext which provides a unique API for handling contexts.
Having this API in TYPO3 CMS would allow us to provide default configuration sets for particular contexts. For example having decent logging in production context vs. full reports in development context.
Extension developers would also benefit from streamlining their custom solutions to a single API.
The context is set using the TYPO3_CONTEXT environment variable.
Here's an example of how to set this variable in apache htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^dev\.example\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [E=TYPO3_CONTEXT:Development]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [E=TYPO3_CONTEXT:Production]
The particular context can be obtained in the following way:
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Core\Bootstrap::getInstance()->getContext() # shorthand to predefined contexts: \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Core\Bootstrap::getInstance()->getContext()->isDevelopment(); \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Core\Bootstrap::getInstance()->getContext()->isProduction(); ...

Quoting Christian Kuhn from http://forge.typo3.org/issues/39441#note-2
Imho FLOW has a way better concept at this point: It has an object for context and subcontexts, they can be extended and new subcontexts can be added. This is the way to go for us, too. I think, Thomas is working on a similar thing in his sandbox and has something at hand already.
I don't really know the "subcontexts" of Flow... It looks it is mentioned in the Flow documentation. Wondering if we are able of such things...

Yes, subcontexts are part of Flow and also part of the backport. See line 79 of ApplicationContext.php
We'd have static contexts "Production", "Development" and "Testing" and custom subcontexts, like Production/Staging, "Development/Debug", "Testing/Unit" etc.
So the root context is not extendable, but the subcontexts are.
The whole backport is 1:1 from Flow, so the Flow documentation would also be valid for us.

Why was this marked as resolved already? The configuration part is still missing and needs work in the core ConfigurationManager AFAIS since that's what Flow does.
Updated by Stefan Neufeind almost 11 years ago
It was set Resolved by gerrit since the patch was merged.
Imho this was about the "core" of it (ApplicationContext). What other changes we'll have now depending on the current context are imho follow-ups to this. Maybe file separate issues and link them here.
Thanks for caring.
