```

🔧 Setup
-------

[](#-setup)

1. Run the installation command:

```

```

[![Artisan Command](/art/artisan.png)](/art/artisan.png)

⚙️ Configuration
----------------

[](#️-configuration)

The package configuration will be published to `config/settings.php`. Here are the available options:

```
return [
    // Storage driver: 'file' or 'database'
    'driver' => 'file',

    // Enable encryption for stored values
    'encrypt' => false,

    // Format for storing arrays: 'json', 'csv', 'serialize'
    'array_format' => 'json',

    // File storage settings
    'file' => [
        'path' => storage_path('app/settings.json'),
    ],

    // Database storage settings
    'database' => [
        'table' => 'settings',
    ],

    // Cache configurations
    'cache' => [
        'key' => 'laravel-settings',
        'ttl' => 3600,
        'enabled' => true,
    ]
];
```

📖 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

### 🔨 Using Helper Function

[](#-using-helper-function)

```
// Get a setting
settings()->get('site_name', 'Default site name');

// Set a setting
settings()->set('site_name', 'My Awesome Site');

// Set multiple settings
settings()->set('site_meta', [
    'name' => 'My Awesome Site',
    'description' => 'A great site'
]);

// Get all settings
$settings = settings()->all();

// Check if a setting exists
settings()->has('site_name');

// Remove a setting
settings()->forget('site_name');

// Clear all settings
settings()->clear();
```

### 📦 Working with Arrays

[](#-working-with-arrays)

The package provides three formats for storing arrays:

1. **JSON** (default) 📄:

```
settings()->set('my_array', ['one', 'two']); // Stored as JSON
```

2. **CSV** 📑:

```
settings()->set('my_array', ['one', 'two']); // Stored as "one,two"
```

3. **Serialized** 📎:

```
settings()->set('my_array', ['one', 'two']); // Stored using PHP serialization
```

### 🔐 Encryption

[](#-encryption)

When encryption is enabled in the config, all values are automatically encrypted before storage and decrypted when retrieved:

```
// With encryption enabled
settings()->set('secret_key', 'sensitive-value'); // Stored encrypted
```
