Global key-value store in the database

To get started with laravel-options, use Composer to add the package to your project's dependencies:

composer require appstract/laravel-options

By running php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Appstract\Options\OptionsServiceProvider" in your project all files for this package will be published. For this package, it's only a migration. Run php artisan migrate to migrate the table. There will now be an options table in your database.

With the option() helper, we can get and set options:

// Get option
option('someKey');

// Get option, with a default fallback value if the key doesn't exist
option('someKey', 'Some default value if the key is not found');

// Set option
option(['someKey' => 'someValue']);

// Remove option
option()->remove('someKey');

// Check the option exists
option_exists('someKey');

If you want to check if an option exists, you can use the facade:

use Option;

$check = Option::exists('someKey');

The helpers are available as Blade directives:

@option('someKey')

@option('someKey', 'Default value')

@optionExists('someKey')
    // Code
@endif

It is also possible to set options within the console:

php artisan option:set {someKey} {someValue}

$ composer test
