Install
-------

[](#install)

**Note:** The default table name is `settings`, if you need to change it please carefully read the comments in the instruction below.

In your terminal:

```
# install the package
composer require backpack/settings

# [optional] if you need to change table name or migration name, please do it now before proceding
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Backpack\Settings\SettingsServiceProvider" --tag="config"
# then change the values you need in in `config/backpack/settings.php`

# publish & run the migration
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Backpack\Settings\SettingsServiceProvider"
php artisan migrate

# [optional] add a menu item for it to the sidebar_content file
php artisan backpack:add-sidebar-content " Settings"

# [optional] insert some example dummy data to the database
php artisan db:seed --class="Backpack\Settings\database\seeds\SettingsTableSeeder"
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### End user

[](#end-user)

Add it to the menu or access it by its route: **application/admin/setting**

### Programmer

[](#programmer)

Use it like you would any config value in a virtual settings.php file. Except the values are stored in the database and fetched on boot, instead of being stored in a file.

```
Setting::get('contact_email')
// or
Config::get('settings.contact_email')
```

### Add new settings

[](#add-new-settings)

Settings are stored in the database in the "settings" table. Its columns are:

- id (ex: 1)
- key (ex: contact\_email)
- name (ex: Contact form email address)
- description (ex: The email address that all emails go to.)
- value (ex: )
- field (Backpack CRUD field configuration in JSON format. )
- active (1 or 0)
- created\_at
- updated\_at

There is no interface available to add new settings. They are added by the developer directly in the database, since the Backpack CRUD field configuration is a bit complicated. See the field types and their configuration code on

### Override existing configurations

[](#override-existing-configurations)

You can use this addon to make various Laravel configurations adjustable through the settings GUI, including Backpack settings themself. For example, you can override the Backpack `show_powered_by` or the `skin` setting in `/config/Backpack/base.php`.

1. Create the setting entry in your settings database. You can add the settings manually, or via [Laravel seeders](https://laravel.com/docs/seeding). The values inserted into the database should be look similar to below:

    For Backpack `show_powered_by` setting:

    FieldValuekeyshow\_powered\_bynameShowed Powered BydescriptionWhether to show the powered by Backpack on the bottom right corner or not.value1field{"name":"value","label":"Value","type":"checkbox"}active1For Backpack `Skin` setting:

    FieldValuekeyskinnameSkindescriptionBackpack admin panel skin settings.valueskin-purplefield{"name":"value","label":"Value","type":"select2\_from\_array","options":{"skin-black":"Black","skin-blue":"Blue", "skin-purple":"Purple","skin-red":"Red","skin-yellow":"Yellow","skin-green":"Green","skin-blue-light":"Blue light", "skin-black-light":"Black light","skin-purple-light":"Purple light","skin-green-light":"Green light","skin-red-light":"Red light", "skin-yellow-light":"Yellow light"},"allows\_null":false,"default":"skin-purple"}active1
2. Open up the `app/Providers/AppServiceProvider` file, and add the below lines:

    ```
