Any key of the config can be modified like this ``` Donkey::set('app.debug', true); // config('app.debug') will return true until changed again ``` What problems does this solve? ------------------------------ [](#what-problems-does-this-solve) 1. If you had to change a value in `config()` that is not exposed in `.env`, how do you do it? Does it have to go through the entire CI/CD pipeline before reaching production? 2. If you had to enable Laravel's debug mode temporarily in production, how would you do it? Modify `.env`? Who will be editing it? Will they accidentally edit something else? And does that person have SSH access? Even if you trust them, do you really want the other API keys to show up on their screens? 3. Perhaps our biggest pain point was coming up with the UI to expose configurable parts of our projects to the users, there just wasn't an elegant way to do it. Our companion Filament package lets you create a configuration page blazingly fast and in your own namespace ``` Donkey::set('project.advanced_mode', true); // persists project.advanced_mode into the project config('project.advanced_mode'); // returns true // You can even give users their own configuration space Donkey::set(auth()->user()->id.'-user.advanced_mode', true); ``` How does it work? ----------------- [](#how-does-it-work) 1. `Donkey::set('app.debug', true)` stores the key-value pair into the database 2. You can blacklist keys using regular expression, e.g. `app.*`, `database.*` 3. Next, a whilelist will let through keys like `app.debug`, this way, you prevent really sensitive keys like `app.key` from being overwritten 4. The package then inject these pairs from the database into the project after going through the black and whitelist 5. This approach plays nicely with the Laravel `config:cache` and requires no changes in your project Installation ------------ [](#installation) Via Composer ``` $ composer require avexsoft/donkey ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Change log ---------- [](#change-log) Please see the [changelog](changelog.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
