Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Saving settings

[](#saving-settings)

You can save settings using the helper function `setting()`:

```
setting(['key' => 'value']);
```

You can also save multiple settings at once:

```
setting([
    'general.key1' => 'value1',
    'general.key2' => 'value2',
]);

// Returns
[
    'general.key1' => 'value1',
    'general.key2' => 'value2',
]
```

### Retrieving settings

[](#retrieving-settings)

You can retrieve settings using the helper function `setting()`:

```
setting(string $key, mixed $default = null);

// Example
setting('key', 'default');

// Returns
'value' // or 'default' if the key does not exist
```

The key can be a dot-notation key to retrieve nested settings:

```
setting('general.key1');

// Returns
'value1'
```

If you have multiple settings with the same parent key, you can retrieve them all at once:

```
setting('general');

// Returns
[
    'key1' => 'value1',
    'key2' => 'value2',
]
```

You can also retrieve all settings at once:

```
setting('*');

// Returns
[
    'key' => 'value',
    'general' => [
        'key1' => 'value1',
        'key2' => 'value2',
    ],
]
```
