Basic Usage

Storing Settings

Retrieving Settings

Checking if a Setting Exists

Defining Settings with Classes

To organize your settings better, you can create a class to define your settings. This helps in type hinting and organizing settings more clearly.

1. Create a settings class:

   php

   namespace App\Settings; use Spatie\Settings\Settings; class SiteSettings extends Settings { public string $site_name; public string $site_description; // Add more settings as needed }

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

   namespace App\Settings;   use Spatie\Settings\Settings;   class SiteSettings extends Settings {     public string $site_name;     public string $site_description;     // Add more settings as needed }
2. Register the settings class in a service provider (e.g., AppServiceProvider):

   php

   use App\Settings\SiteSettings; public function register() { $this->app->singleton(SiteSettings::class, function () { return new SiteSettings(); }); }

   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

   use App\Settings\SiteSettings;   public function register() {     $this->app->singleton(SiteSettings::class, function () {         return new SiteSettings();     }); }
3. Use the settings class in your application:

   php

   use App\Settings\SiteSettings; $settings = app(SiteSettings::class); $siteName = $settings->site_name;

   1 2 3 4

   use App\Settings\SiteSettings;   $settings = app(SiteSettings::class); $siteName = $settings->site_name;

    

Caching Settings

To improve performance, you can cache your settings. You can set a cache duration in your configuration file. Here’s an example of how to cache settings:

This caches the settings for 60 minutes.
