   Oriceon\Settings\SettingsServiceProvider::class,

3. Add an alias for the facade to aliases array in your config/app.php

   'Settings' => Oriceon\Settings\Facades\Settings::class,

4. Publish the config and migration files now:

   php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Oriceon\Settings\SettingsServiceProvider" --force

How to Use it?

Set a value

Settings::set('key', 'value');
Settings::set('key1.key2', 'value');

Get a value

$value = Settings::get('key');
$value = Settings::get('key1.key2');

Get a value with Default Value.

$value = Settings::get('key', 'Default Value');

Get all settings

$values = Settings::getAll();

Note: default, all settings are loaded from cache. If you want to load them from database with this method just call with a parameter:

$values = Settings::getAll($cache = false);

Note: If key is not found (null) in cache or settings table, it will return default value

Has a key

$value = Settings::has('key');
$value = Settings::has('key1.key2');

Forget a value

Settings::forget('key');
Settings::forget('key1.key2');

Clean and update settings from config file

Settings::clean();
Settings::clean(['flush' => true]);

Note: using flush parameter, will forget all values and reload settings from config file

Forget all values

Settings::flush();

Fallback to Laravel config

// Change your config/settings.php
'fallback' => true

Example

/*
 * If the value with key => mail.host is not found in cache or DB of Larave Settings
 * it will return same value as config::get('mail.host');
 */
Settings::get('mail.host');

Primary config file

// Change your config/settings.php
'primary_config_file' => 'filename'

Note: If you want to have a site config file with all your default settings, create a file in config/ with desired name and create your config file as you want. After that, you may no longer need to enter the file name in setting calls.

Instead Settings::get('filename.setting_key') you will just call for Settings::get('setting_key')

Note: It will work if default value in laravel setting is not set

Get a value via an helper

$value = settings('key');
$value = settings('key', 'default value');
