Extends

A stub method called by `_config()` which allows `Adaptable` subclasses to automatically assign or auto-generate additional configuration data, once a configuration is first accessed. This allows configuration data to be lazy-loaded from adapters or other data sources.

Parameters

string $name The name of the configuration which is being accessed. This is the key name containing the specific set of configuration passed into `config()`.
array $config Contains the configuration assigned to `$name`. If this configuration is segregated by environment, then this will contain the configuration for the current environment.

Returns

array Returns the final array of settings for the given named configuration.

		return (array) $config + $defaults;
