Make it possible to define custom acf types

Example: corcel.config.php

Hi @kevinkiel thanks for contributing with Corcel ;-)

• In the case of using a config file I think it's better to add a sample file in corcel/corcel repo, with a CorcelServiceProvider or something like that. Than the user can get a default file with the suggested options;

• Change the Corcel branch from master to develop, like the contribution guide (done!);

• Can you fix the error? The phpunit is failing. Please run phpunit locally and ensure nothing is broke.

What do you think? JG

Let's move this to an class variable (static):

protected static $defaultTypes = [...];

I'd suggest here:

if (!empty($types[$type])) {
    $field = new $types[$type]($post);
    $field->process($name);

    return $field;
}

return null;

You have to check if the Config class exists before using it. That's the first error when running phpunit. I suggest you to check if the class exists or if the config() function exists like I did on Model.php class. Please, take a look.

@jgrossi Thanks for your fast reaction and feedback. I made some small changes to the code so it would pass the tests.

I don't understand what you mean. This config file is specifically for the support of custom ACF plugins. Maybe add it in corcel/acf?

[jgrossi]

What I mean is to create the config/corcel.php file inside the corcel/acf merge an existent config/corcel.php in corcel/corcel. We can merge configurations between files. This way we would have only one config/corcel.php file.

Take a look: https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/packages#configuration

@jgrossi Thanks for your response. I've add the CorcelAcfServiceProvider. Now my question is in what package are we gonna merge the 2 config files?

$this->mergeConfigFrom( __DIR__.'/config.php', 'corcel' );

@jgrossi What do you think?

Hi @kevinkiel sorry for being MIA but time is scarce for now :-)

My goal is to have, at least for now, just one config/corcel.php file. I'm rewriting Corcel (you're welcome to help btw) and it'll have a config/corcel.php file, just to set the default Corcel connection, nothing more for now, I guess.

I was wondering if I can merge the config options you created (about acf) into the main config/corcel.php file, what I guess it's possible, but I've never tried that.

I'll try to install a fresh Laravel here, install Corcel, copy the config file and then install corcel/acf and try to merge it. I let you know if it's working and then we merge this PR, which I think is ready.

Thanks!
