How to implement a config module?

Question

Yii

I needed a configuration module for yii2, which was easily found at https://packagist.org/
But I wish the module was smarter. I mean working with the config in the style:

set: Yii::$app->settings->module->submodule->...->key = value;
get: value = Yii::$app->settings->module->submodule->...->key;
get all: value = Yii::$app->settings->module;
delete: Yii::$app->settings->module->submodule->...->key->delete();
delete2: unset(Yii::$app->settings->module->submodule->...->key);
something: Yii::$app->settings->module->submodule->...->key->something(...);

As I understand it, you will have to implement it yourself. Only I don't know how. I thought to use objects for each "branch", but I don't know how to save it to the database later.
Any ideas?

Look at the code for the Zend Framework component Zend\Config . Each "branch" is an object of the same Zend\Config\Config class. For everything else, magic methods and interfaces are used.
