System Settings¶
At many cases you need to have some dynamic system settings, such as in a referral program, where you give gifts to anyone who refers new users. But those gifts can be changed in the future, so it’s better not have them statically created in the code, instead read from the database where an Admin can manage them at any time.
The app/Containers/Settings
Container helps storing and retrieving those key values settings. It also seed the
database with the default configurations during the installation.
Seed Default Settings¶
Default Settings should be added to the app/Containers/Settings/Database/Seeders/DefaultSystemSettingsSeeder.php
Read Settings¶
You can use the pre-defined Tasks
to read / write settings from the database
<?php
$value = $this->findSettingsByKeyTask->run('whateverSettingsName');
You can search for settings by Key as in the example above, or create a class for each settings as follow:
<?php
$value = $this->findWhateverSettingsTask->run();
