Installation

Via Composer

composer require janiskelemen/laravel-setting

Publish config and migration

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=setting
php artisan migrate

Setup your settings config

After publishing the setting files you will find a new configuration file: config/setting.php In this config you can define your basic settings like below.

# config/setting.php
return [
    'app_name' => 'My Application',
    'user_limit' => 10,
];
Setting::get('app_name');
//retruns
'My Application'

You can also use multi level arrays

# config/setting.php
return [
    'priorities' => [
        'low' => 1,
        'medium' => 2,
        'hight' => 3
    ],
];
Setting::get('priorities.medium');
//retruns
2

Defining optional config values

If you want to store additional data for a particular setting you can do so using an array and name one of the parameters 'default_value' which will be the default for the setting and is what gets returned by Settings::get('app_name') in this case.

# config/setting.php
return [
    'app_name' => [
        'type' => 'text', /* Optional config values */
        'max' => 255, /* Optional config values */
        'default_value' => 'My Application' /* <- This value will be returned by Setting::get('app_name') if key is not found in DB */
    ],
    'user_limit' => 10,
];
Setting::get('app_name');
//retruns
'My Application'

// You can still access the optional parameters
Setting::get('app_name.max');
//retruns
255

Get full structure with default_value keys

By suffixing your key name with a dot or by using the Setting::getWithDefaultSubKeys('app_name') method will return all default parameters including the current value

Setting::get('app_name.');
//retruns
[
    'type' => 'text',
    'max' => 255,
    'default_value' => 'My Application',
    'value' => 'My Custom Application Name' //the value key will be added with the current value saved in the database (or default if not in database yet)
]

Scoped settings

You might want to save some settings only for a certain user. You can do this using a placeholder (_*) inside your config key name.

# config/setting.php
return [
    'user_*' => [
        'dark_mode' => false,
        'permissions' => [
            'read' => true,
            'write' => false,
        ]
    ],
];

Set save the new setting on runtime:

// Save a new setting under user_1.dark_mode with a value of true
Setting::set("user_{$user->id}.dark_mode", true);

Now you can get the value:

Setting::get("user_{$user->id}.dark_mode");
//returns
true

The above will return null if the setting does not exist for this user. In order to return something else you can set a default as the second parameter:

Setting::get("user_{$otherUser->id}.dark_mode");
//returns
false

Get only the changed user settings

Setting::set("user_{$otherUser->id}.dark_mode", true);
Setting::set("user_{$otherUser->id}.permissions.write", true);

Setting::get("user_{$otherUser->id}");
//returns
[
    'dark_mode' => true,
    'permissions' => [
        'write' => false
    ]
]

In order to get all user settings you can use the getWithDefaultSubKeys() method or suffix the main key with a dot. The result will return a merged array with the default values from and the config while the changed values from the database will overwrite the default values.

Setting::get("user_{$otherUser->id}.");
// same as
Setting::getWithDefaultSubKeys("user_{$otherUser->id}");

//returns
[
    'dark_mode' => true, // this value comes from the database
    'permissions' => [
        'read' => true, // this value is the default from the config
        'write' => false, // this value is the default from the config
    ]
]

Usage

Setting::get('name');
// get setting value with key 'name'
// If this key is not found in DB then it will return the value defined from the config file or null if the key is also not defined in the config file.

Setting::get('name', 'Joe');
// get setting value with key 'name'
// return 'Joe' if the key does not exists. This will overwrite the default coming from the config file.

Setting::all();
// get all settings.
// This will merge the setting.php config file with the values (only where lang is null) found in the database and returns a collection.

Setting::lang('zh-TW')->get('name', 'Joe');
// get setting value with key and language

Setting::set('name', 'Joe');
// set setting value by key

Setting::lang('zh-TW')->set('name', 'Joe');
// set setting value by key and language

Setting::has('name');
// check the key exists in database, return boolean

Setting::lang('zh-TW')->has('name');
// check the key exists by language in database, return boolean

Setting::forget('name');
// delete the setting from database by key

Setting::lang('zh-TW')->forget('name');
// delete the setting from database by key and language

Dealing with locale

By default language parameter are being resets every set or get calls. You could disable that and set your own long term language parameter forever using any route service provider or other method.

Setting::lang(App::getLocale())->langResetting(false);

Custom Setting Model

The Setting model can be overwritten by creating a /config/laravel-setting.php config and adding:

'model' => \App\YourModelName::class,

Your custom model needs to extend the \JanisKelemen\Setting\EloquentStorage class.
