Laravel Setting

Persistent configuration settings for Laravel - Create, Read, Update and Delete settings stored in files using JSON.

This package was the result of me not being able to save new settings to config files in a more persistent way.

This package was designed not to replace the config solution currently offered by Laravel but rather complement it and be used in unison with it.

By default the data is stored in app_path().'/storage/meta/setting.json' but this can eaisly be changed either in the config file or on the fly realtime.

Installation

Require this package in your composer.json:

"philf/setting": "dev-master"

And add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in app/config/app.php

'Philf\Setting\SettingServiceProvider',

Usage

Config

return array(
'path'     => app_path().'/storage/meta',
'filename' => 'setting.json',
);

It's simple to use - just think arrays :)

set is an alias for put so you can use either

Single dimension

set:     Setting::set(array('name' => 'Phil'))
put:     Setting::put(array('name' => 'Phil'))
get:     Setting::get('name')
forget:  Setting::forget('name')
has:     Setting::has('name')

Multi dimensional

set:     Setting::set(array('names' => array('firstname' => 'Phil', 'surname' => 'F')))
put:     Setting::put(array('names' => array('firstname' => 'Phil', 'surname' => 'F')))
get:     Setting::get('names.firstname')
forget:  Setting::forget(array('names' => 'surname'))
has:     Setting::has('names.firstname')

Using a different path (make sure the path exists and is writable) *

Setting::path(app_path().'/storage/meta/sub')->set(array('names2' => array('firstname' => 'Phil', 'surname' => 'F')));

Using a different filename

Setting::filename('setting2.json')->set(array('names2' => array('firstname' => 'Phil', 'surname' => 'F')));

Using both a different path and filename (make sure the path exists and is writable)

Setting::path(app_path().'/storage/meta/sub')->filename('dummy.json')->set(array('names2' => array('firstname' => 'Phil', 'surname' => 'F')));
