Example

// Getting, modifying and saving module config data
$data = $modules->getConfig('HelloWorld');

$modules->saveConfig('HelloWorld', $data);

// Getting just one property 'apiKey' from module config data
@apiKey = $modules->getConfig('HelloWorld', 'apiKey'); 

Usage

// basic usage
$array = $modules->getConfig($class);

// usage with all arguments
$array = $modules->getConfig($class, string $property = '');

“To Drupal, or to ProcessWire? The million dollar choice. We decided to make an early switch to PW. And in retrospect, ProcessWire was probably the best decision we made. Thanks are due to ProcessWire and the amazing system and set of modules that are in place.” —Unni Krishnan, Founder of PigtailPundits
