Laravel Model Settings

A Laravel package that allows you to assign settings to your models.

Installation & setup

Add the package to your Laravel app using composer

composer require codetech/laravel-model-settings

For changing migrations and configurations, you will need to publish both files by running the following Artisan command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="CodeTech\ModelSettings\Providers\ModelSettingsServiceProvider"

Service Provider

Register the package's service provider in config/app.php. In Laravel versions 5.5 and beyond, this step can be skipped if package auto-discovery is enabled.

'providers' => [

    ...
    Codetech\ModelSettings\Providers\ModelSettingsServiceProvider::class,
    ...

];

Migrations

Execute the next Artisan command to run the migrations.

php artisan migrate

Usage

Use the trait in your models.

use CodeTech\ModelSettings\Traits\HasSettings;

class Theme extends Model
{
    use HasSettings;

    ...

Retrieve model settings

Querying the database

// Get all settings
$settings = $theme->settings;

// Get settings from a specific scope
$scopedSettings = $theme->settings()->ofScope('colors')->get();

Using the config helper

If you have load_into_memory enabled, you can access the settings with the config() helper.

config('theme.colors.primary');
