README

Use jalallinux/laravel-settings to store key value pair settings in the database.

All the settings saved in db is cached to improve performance by reducing sql query to zero.

Installation

1 - You can install the package via composer:

composer require jalallinux/laravel-settings

2 - If you are installing on Laravel 5.4 or lower you will be needed to manually register Service Provider by adding it in config/app.php providers array and Facade in aliases arrays.

'providers' => [
    //...
    JalalLinuX\Settings\SettingsServiceProvider::class
]

'aliases' => [
    //...
    "Settings" => JalalLinuX\Settings\Facade::class
]

In Laravel 5.5 or above the service provider automatically get registered and a facade Setting::get('app_name') will be available.

3 - Now run the migration by php artisan migrate to create the settings table.

Optionally you can publish migration by running

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="JalalLinuX\Settings\SettingsServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

Getting Started

You can use helper function settings('app_name') or Settings::get('app_name') to use laravel settings.

Available methods

// Pass `true` to ignore cached settings
settings()->all($fresh = false);

// Get a single setting
settings()->get($key, $defautl = null);

// Set a single setting
settings()->set($key, $value);

// Set a multiple settings
settings()->set([
   'app_name' => 'JalalLinuXe',
   'app_email' => 'smjjalalzadeh93@gmail.com',
   'app_type' => 'Laravel'
]);

// check for setting key
settings()->has($key);

// remove a setting
settings()->remove($key);

Groups

You can organize your settings into groups. If you skip the group name it will store settings with default group name.

You have all above methods available just set you working group by calling ->group('group_name') method and chain on:

// My Team App 1
settings()->group('team.1')->set('app_name', 'My Team App');
settings()->group('team.1')->get('app_name');

// My Team App 2
settings()->group('team.2')->set('app_name', 'My Team 2 App');
settings()->group('team.2')->get('app_name');

// You can use facade
\Settings::group('team.1')->get('app_name');

Another helper function

This helper use only for fetching setting

// Fetch team.2 owner_name from cached settings
_settings('team.2', 'owner_name');

// Fetch all settings of group team.2 from cached settings
_settings('team.2');

// Fetch team.2 owner_name and reset setting cache from database
_settings('team.2', 'owner_name', true);
