### For Laravel 5.x, check [version 2.4.0](https://github.com/bradcornford/Setter/tree/v1.5.5)

[](#for-laravel-5x-check-version-240)

### For Laravel 4.x, check [version 1.7.2](https://github.com/bradcornford/Setter/tree/v1.5.5)

[](#for-laravel-4x-check-version-172)

Think of Setter as an easy way to integrate Settings with Laravel, providing a variety of helpers to speed up the utilisation of application wide settings. These include:

- `Setting::set`
- `Setting::get`
- `Setting::forget`
- `Setting::has`
- `Setting::all`
- `Setting::clear`
- `Setting::expires`

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's `composer.json` file to require `cornford/setter`.

```
"require": {
	"cornford/setter": "3.*"
}

```

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

```
composer update

```

We now have to publish the packages assets with the following command:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Cornford\Setter\Providers\SettingServiceProvider" --tag=setting

```

We now have to migrate the package database table with the following command:

```
php artisan migrate

```

Once this operation completes, the next step is to add the service provider. Open `config/app.php`, and add a new item to the providers array.

```
Cornford\Setter\Providers\SettingServiceProvider::class,

```

The final step is to introduce the facade. Open `config/app.php`, and add a new item to the aliases array.

```
'Setting' => Cornford\Setter\Facades\SettingFacade::class,

```

That's it! You're all set to go.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

You can now configure Setter in a few simple steps. Open `config/packages/cornford/setter/config.php` and update the options as needed.

- `cache` - Enable caching to improve performance by reducing database calls.
- `tag` - A tag prefixed to all cache items, e.g. tag::.
- `expiry` - The default expiry for cache items, e.g. 60.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

It's really as simple as using the Setter class in any Controller / Model / File you see fit with:

`Setting::`

This will give you access to

- [Set](#set)
- [Get](#get)
- [Forget](#forget)
- [Has](#has)
- [All](#all)
- [Clear](#clear)
- [expires](#expires)
- [Uncached](#uncached)
- [cacheEnabled](#cache-enabled)
- [enableCache](#enable-cache)
- [disableCache](#disable-cache)
- [setCacheTag](#set-cache-tag)
- [getCacheTag](#get-cache-tag)
- [cacheHas](#cache-has)
- [cacheForget](#cache-forget)
- [cacheClear](#cache-clear)
- [CacheExpires](#cache-expires)

### Set

[](#set)

The `set` method sets a setting via both a key and a value parameter in the database.

```
Setting::set('app.url', 'http://localhost');

```

### Get

[](#get)

The `get` method gets a setting via a key parameter from the database, and a default value can be optionally passed if the setting doesn't exist. If no default parameter is supplied, and an application configuration variable is present, this will be returned.

```
Setting::get('app.url', 'http://localhost');
Setting::get('app.url');

```

### Forget

[](#forget)

The `forget` method removes a setting via a key parameter from the database.

```
Setting::forget('app.setting');

```

### Has

[](#has)

The `has` method returns a true / false based on if a setting is present in the database via a key parameter. This doesn't fall back to checking application configuration variables.

```
Setting::has('app.setting');

```

### All

[](#all)

The `all` method returns an array of key value pairs of settings from the database. This doesn't fall back to return application configuration variables.

```
Setting::all();

```

### Clear

[](#clear)

The `clear` method removes all settings from the database. This doesn't fall back to removing application configuration variables.

```
Setting::clear();

```

### Expires

[](#expires)

The `expires` method sets the cache expiry setting. Can be false to not cache, true / 0 to cache indefinitely, an integer for minutes, or a datetime of when to expire.

```
Setting::expires(false);

```

### Uncached

[](#uncached)

The `uncached` method ensures the next get request is requested from the database rather than the cache. It will also re-cache the item if one is found.

```
Setting::uncached();
Setting::uncached()->get('app.setting');

```

### Cache Enabled

[](#cache-enabled)

The `cacheEnabled` method gets the current caching state returning a true / false based on the cache status, retuning the current Setter instance.

```
Setting::cacheEnabled();

```

### Enable Cache

[](#enable-cache)

The `enableCache` method sets caching state to cache items, retuning the current Setter instance.

```
Setting::enableCache();
Setting::enableCache()->set('app.url', 'http://localhost');

```

### Disable Cache

[](#disable-cache)

The `disableCache` method sets caching state to not cache items.

```
Setting::disableCache();
Setting::disableCache()->set('app.url', 'http://localhost');

```

### Set Cache Tag

[](#set-cache-tag)

The `setCacheTag` method sets the currently caching prefix tag.

```
Setting::setCacheTag('tag:');

```

### Get Cache Tag

[](#get-cache-tag)

The `getCacheTag` method gets the currently set caching prefix tag.

```
Setting::getCacheTag();

```

### Cache Has

[](#cache-has)

The `cacheHas` method returns a true / false based on if a setting is present in the cache via a key parameter. This doesn't fall back to checking application configuration variables.

```
Setting::cacheHas('app.setting');

```

### Cache Forget

[](#cache-forget)

The `cacheForget` method removes a setting via a key parameter from the cache.

```
Setting::cacheForget('app.setting');

```

### Cache Expires

[](#cache-expires)

The `cacheExpires` method sets the cache expiry setting. Can be false to not cache, true / 0 to cache indefinitely, an integer for minutes, or a datetime of when to expire.

```
Setting::cacheExpires(false);

```

### Cache Clear

[](#cache-clear)

The `cacheClear` method removes all settings from the cache. This doesn't fall back to removing application configuration variables.

```
Setting::cacheClear();

```
