Installation

Begin by installing the package through Composer. Run the following command in your terminal:

composer require junaidnasir/globalsettings

add the package service provider in the providers array in config/app.php:

Junaidnasir\GlobalSettings\GlobalSettingsServiceProvider::class

you may add the facade access in the aliases array:

'GlobalSettings'  => Junaidnasir\GlobalSettings\Facades\GlobalSettings::class

Usage

You can use facade accessor to retrieve the package controller. Examples:

GlobalSettings::set('allowUserSignUp',0);
GlobalSettings::set('userPostLimit',10);

// Get registration
if( GlobalSettings::get('allowUserSignUp'))
{
    //show form
}

// Post controller
if (count($user->post) >= GlobalSettings::get('userPostLimit'))
{
    // Can not create post limit reached
}
