#Variables
This is a package for the Laravel framework, it allows for a specified set of variables to be overridden in the database by the user of the site
Installation
Laravel 5
Using Composer, edit your composer.json
file to require devfactory/media
.
"require": {
"devfactory/variables": "2.0.*"
}
Then from the terminal run
composer update
Then in your app/config/app.php
file register the service provider:
'Devfactory\Variables\VariablesServiceProvider',
and the Facade:
'Variables' => 'Devfactory\Variables\Facades\VariablesFacade',
From within the the laravel folder of your project, run:
php artisan vendor:publish
Run the migration to create the DB table:
php artisan migrate
You have to add the Controller to your routes.php, so that you can set your own url/filters.
Route::group(array('before' => 'admin-auth'), function() { Route::controller('variables', '\Devfactory\Variables\Controllers\VariablesController'); });
Laravel 4
Using Composer, edit your composer.json
file to require devfactory/media
.
"require": {
"devfactory/variables": "1.0.*"
}
Then from the terminal run
composer update
Then in your app/config/app.php
file register the service provider:
'Devfactory\Variables\VariablesServiceProvider',
and the Facade:
'Variables' => 'Devfactory\Variables\Facades\VariablesFacade',
Run the migration to create the DB table:
php artisan migrate --package=devfactory/variables
Finally, publish the config to make changes to where and how the files are stored:
php artisan config:publish devfactory/variables
You have to add the Controller to your routes.php, so that you can set your own url/filters.
Route::group(array('before' => 'admin-auth'), function() { Route::controller('variables', 'Devfactory\Variables\Controllers\VariablesController'); });
Usage
Visiting the url you set in your routes file as shown above, allows you to see all the current variables, as well as override them by entering a new value and saving.
You can then use the variables through calls to the Variables
facade:
<?php $api_key = Variables::get('api_key'); // da46f8af58aec448c784dd421660f7635d404feb
Other public methods in the Facade are:
<?php // Retrieve an array of all the variables Variables::getAll(); // Set the value of a variable Variables::set('api_key', 'da46f8af58aec448c784dd421660f7635d404feb'); // Unset the value of a variable stored in the DB Variables::remove('api_key');
