Where to put custom settings in Zend Framework 2?

Question

I have some custom application specific settings, I want to put in a configuration file. Where would I put these? I considered /config/autoload/global.php and/or local.php. But

In case you need to create custom config file for specific module, you can create additional config file in module/CustomModule/config folder, something like this:

module.config.php
module.customconfig.php

This is content of your module.customconfig.php file:

return array(
    'settings' => array(
        'settingA' => 'foo',
        'settingB' => 'bar',
    ),
);

Then you need to change getConfig() method in CustomModule/module.php file:

public function getConfig() {
    $config = array();
    $configFiles = array(
        include __DIR__ . '/config/module.config.php',
        include __DIR__ . '/config/module.customconfig.php',
    );
    foreach ($configFiles as $file) {
        $config = \Zend\Stdlib\ArrayUtils::merge($config, $file);
    }
    return $config;
}

Then you can use custom settings in controller:

 $config = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('config');
 $settings = $config["settings"];

it is work for me and hope it help you.
