Trouble to understand how to update settings

[Drillan767]

Hello,

I've just installed this library in my project, I want to use it to store details such as social networks, but also pieces of configuration such as "should we allow users to register on the website?"

However, when I read the documentation, it looks like I need to "hardcode" my settings, then migrate them. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something. Is it possible to edit the settings from a form in my website, and if so, how should I proceed?

Hi @Drillan767,

It is indeed true you have to hardcode your settings like a boolean for: "should we allow users to register on the website?". Migrating will add these settings (and in this case the boolean) to the database/redis. You can now inject your settings class everywhere in Laravel and it will have a value for the boolean.

When you want to update the value of this boolean then you should update the value of the boolean in the settings class and call the save method on it. The package will update the database/redis then with the new value of the boolean.

Does that make sense?

Hello again, thank you for the explaination, I realized I overlooked the "update" part, and it (of course) works as a charm. Thanks again!
