Settings & Preferences In Laravel Applications

Tests Packagist Stable Version StyleCI Packagist downloads MIT Software License

This Laravel package allows you to manage and save/retrieve settings and preferences in your Laravel application.

  • Settings are user defined values that apply to the application.
  • Preferences are user defined values that apply to a specific user.

Settings and preferences are being managed separately. Values (by default) are being saved to the database (settings and preferences tables) and are cached with the configured cache for your application.

The backend for storing the settings can be completely replaced, so it is possible to store them in anywhere else like MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Firebase, DynamoDB, S3, etc.

$settingsRegistry->addByKey('mailchimp.api_key');

Saving And Retrieving Settings

// using the facade:
Settings::set('mailchimp.api_key', '123456789abcdef');
echo Settings::get('mailchimp.api_key');
// '123456789abcdef'

// using the service from the container:
