Installation

Install the package via Composer:

Publish the migration and run it:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="settings-migrations"
php artisan migrate

Optionally, publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="settings-config"

Configuration

Published config file (config/settings.php):

use Elegantly\Settings\Models\Setting;

return [

    /*
     * The Eloquent model used to store and retrieve settings
     */
    'model' => Setting::class,

    /*
     * Cache configuration for global settings
     */
    'cache' => [
        'enabled' => true,
        'key' => 'settings',
        'ttl' => 60 * 60 * 24, // 1 day
    ],

];

Usage

Basic Usage (Facade)

use Elegantly\Settings\Facades\Settings;

// Set a value
Settings::set(
    namespace: 'home',
    name: 'color',
    value: 'white'
);

// Get a value
$setting = Settings::get(
    namespace: 'home',
    name: 'color'
);

$setting->value; // white

Dependency Injection

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Elegantly\Settings\Settings;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    public function index(Settings $settings)
    {
        $settings->set(
            namespace: 'home',
            name: 'color',
            value: 'white'
        );

        $setting = $settings->get(
            namespace: 'home',
            name: 'color'
        );

        $setting->value; // white
    }
}

Typed Namespaced Settings

For better DX, define custom typed settings classes:

Usage

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Settings\HomeSettings;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    public function index(HomeSettings $settings)
    {
        $settings->color; // white

        $settings->color = 'black';
        $settings->save();
    }
}

Defining a Typed Settings Class

namespace App\Settings;

use Elegantly\Settings\NamespacedSettings;

class HomeSettings extends NamespacedSettings
{
    public ?string $color = null;

    /** @var int[] */
    public array $articles = [];

    public static function getNamespace(): string
    {
        return 'home';
    }
}

Testing

Run the test suite:

composer test
