README

I have worked with both Drupal and Laravel frameworks. In Drupal, we have two helper functions known as variable_set and variable_get, whose job is to manage and store the variables that we intend to have in a permanent space (database). In Laravel, such a possibility is possible through .env file and config files, but we do not have any specific programming interface (API) to store such data in a database. Therefore, I have developed this Laravel package based on Drupal.

Note that in this package all variables stored in a global php variable when booting service providers only with one database query!

Installation

  1. First Install the latest package version

    compoer require mrmmg/laravel_variables

  2. Run Migrations

    php artisan migrate

Usage

Set Variable

With variable_set(name, value) helper function you can store variables in database. Example:

variable_set("prune_cache", true);
variable_set("dataset", [...]);

You can store any type of value, something like Objects, Class References and etc.

Get Variable

Use variable_get(name, default = null) helper function. Example:

$dataset = variable_get("dataset", []);

//$dataset will be a array if found otherwise an empty array (default value) will be returned.

Delete Variable

If you wants to delete a variable permanently from database use variable_del(name) helper function. Example:

variable_del("dataset");
