IanM 77ad7422e7 fix: disable fof/redis settings cache to avoid circular boot dependency (#7)
fof/redis >=1.1 introduces a `settings` service that replaces
SettingsRepositoryInterface with a Redis-backed caching layer.
Enabling it here creates a circular dependency: this extension reads
settings to decide which Redis services to enable, but with the
settings cache active those reads require Redis to already be wired.

Always disable the `settings` service when delegating to fof/redis.
Also fixes a cast-precedence bug in the database env var helpers
where `(int) getenv(...) ? getenv(...) : N` applied the cast to the
ternary condition rather than the result, causing REDIS_DATABASE_*=0
to return the default instead of 0.

A [Flarum](http://flarum.org) extension.
Makes it easy to enable/disable Redis features:
- Cache
- Queue
- Sessions
If you are using a local redis setup, you will likely be able to simply use the defaults provided.
Any of these can be overridden using environment variables as follows:
```ini
REDIS_HOST='127.0.0.1 # Optional, else uses default
REDIS_PORT=6379 # Optional, else uses default
REDIS_PASSWORD=null # Optional, otherwise null
REDIS_DATABASE_CACHE=1 # Optional, else uses default
REDIS_DATABASE_QUEUE=2 # Optional, else uses default
REDIS_DATABASE_SESSION=3 # Optional, else uses default
REDIS_PREFIX='flarum_' # Optional, else uses default
```
## 📥 Installation
```bash
composer require glowingblue/redis-setup
```
## ♻ Updating
```bash
composer update glowingblue/redis-setup
php flarum cache:clear
```
## Compatibility with `fof/redis`
This extension depends on [`fof/redis`](https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/redis) and deliberately disables the **`settings` service** that `fof/redis` ≥ 1.1 provides.
`fof/redis`'s settings service replaces Flarum's `SettingsRepositoryInterface` with a Redis-backed caching layer. However, this extension reads settings (e.g. which Redis services to enable) during its own boot sequence — *before* Redis is fully wired into the container. Enabling the Redis settings cache here would create a circular dependency: configuring Redis requires reading settings, but reading settings requires Redis.
The `settings` service from `fof/redis` is therefore always disabled in this extension's extender. If you want Redis-backed settings caching, configure `fof/redis` directly in your project's root `extend.php` instead of using this extension.
