Laravel Model Settings

Laravel Model Settings is a package by Lorand Gombos to provide model settings configuration in a database field or a separate database table.

The package ships with two traits—settings in a field or table—that you can configure in a given model (one or the other, not both). First, the settings field is a JSON field:

// Settings field use Glorand\Model\Settings\Traits\HasSettingsField; class User extends Model { use HasSettingsField; //define only if you select a dirrerent name from the default public $settingsFieldName = 'user_settings'; }

And a separate settings table option:

use Glorand\Model\Settings\Traits\HasSettingsTable; class User extends Model { use HasSettingsTable; }

Here’s some basic usage examples in a model:

// Get all settings $user->settings()->all(); // Get a specific setting $user->settings()->get('some.setting'); $user->settings()->get('some.setting', 'default value'); // Add/Update $user->settings()->apply((array)$settings); $user->settings()->set('some.setting', 'new value'); $user->settings()->update('some.setting', 'new value'); // Remove $user->settings()->delete('some.setting');
