\#Variables

This is a package for the Laravel framework, it allows for a specified set of variables to be overridden in the database by the user of the site

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

[](#installation)

### Laravel 5

[](#laravel-5)

Using Composer, edit your `composer.json` file to require `devfactory/media`.

```
"require": {
  "devfactory/variables": "2.0.*"
}

```

Then from the terminal run

```
composer update

```

Then in your `app/config/app.php` file register the service provider:

```
'Devfactory\Variables\VariablesServiceProvider',
```

and the Facade:

```
'Variables' => 'Devfactory\Variables\Facades\VariablesFacade',
```

From within the the laravel folder of your project, run:

```
php artisan vendor:publish

```

Run the migration to create the DB table:

```
php artisan migrate

```

You have to add the Controller to your routes.php, so that you can set your own url/filters.

```
Route::group(array('before' => 'admin-auth'), function() {
  Route::controller('variables', '\Devfactory\Variables\Controllers\VariablesController');
});
```

### Laravel 4

[](#laravel-4)

Using Composer, edit your `composer.json` file to require `devfactory/media`.

```
"require": {
  "devfactory/variables": "1.0.*"
}

```

Then from the terminal run

```
composer update

```

Then in your `app/config/app.php` file register the service provider:

```
    'Devfactory\Variables\VariablesServiceProvider',
```

and the Facade:

```
    'Variables' => 'Devfactory\Variables\Facades\VariablesFacade',
```

Run the migration to create the DB table:

```
php artisan migrate --package=devfactory/variables

```

Finally, publish the config to make changes to where and how the files are stored:

```
php artisan config:publish devfactory/variables

```

You have to add the Controller to your routes.php, so that you can set your own url/filters.

```
    Route::group(array('before' => 'admin-auth'), function() {
        Route::controller('variables', 'Devfactory\Variables\Controllers\VariablesController');
    });
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Visiting the url you set in your routes file as shown above, allows you to see all the current variables, as well as override them by entering a new value and saving.

You can then use the variables through calls to the `Variables` facade:

```
