This package provides simple database config storage and loading for Laravel, in the form of a single table to store key => value pairs.

Laravel Versions
----------------

[](#laravel-versions)

LaravelThis Package5.4.\*^2.0Make sure you consult the Upgrade Guide (`UPGRADE.md`) when upgrading.

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

[](#installation)

Begin by pulling in the package through Composer.

```
composer require jameswmcnab/db-config
```

Next include the service provider within your `config/app.php` file.

```
'providers' => [
    Jameswmcnab\ConfigDb\ConfigDbServiceProvider::class,
];
```

If you wish to use the `ConfigDb` facade in your application, register within your `config/app.php` file.

```
'aliases' => [
    'ConfigDb' => Jameswmcnab\ConfigDb\Facades\ConfigDb::class,
];
```

Finally run the migrations to create the database table:

```
php artisan migrate
```

Customising the database table name
-----------------------------------

[](#customising-the-database-table-name)

If you want to change the default config table name to something other than `config` then publish the package config:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jameswmcnab\ConfigDb\ConfigDbServiceProvider"
```

Then edit `config/config-db.php` in your main application directory to change the table name. Note that you'll need to do this **before** running the migration.
