A Laravel Nova tool to manage app settings

Store and edit simple app-wide settings right in Nova. Settings are stored as JSON using spatie/valuestore, making them really easy to pull in and use everywhere else in your app.

Installation

Install the package in any Laravel app that uses Nova via composer:

composer require bakerkretzmar/nova-settings-tool

Publish the included default configuration file to config/settings.php (optional, see below):

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="settings-tool"

Register the tool with Nova in the tools method of your NovaServiceProvider:

// in app/Providers/NovaServiceProvider.php

use Bakerkretzmar\SettingsTool\SettingsTool;

// ...

public function tools()
{
    return [
        new SettingsTool,
    ];
}

Usage

Settings can be declared using a settings.php file in your app's config folder. This file lets you specify where your settings are stored, what the tool's title is in Nova's sidebar, the layout of the settings page, and information about the settings themselves.

This package includes a default config file that you can publish and use as a starting point:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="settings-tool"

The default config contains examples that should be pretty self-explanatory, and lots of comments in case they aren't.

Each item in the panels array is rendered as its own 'group' of settings, like a panel on one of Nova's detail views. Each panel has a name and contains some settings. Each setting can optionally have a description and a link to more information (e.g. docs). Only the setting's key and value are actually stored in your settings.json file.

There are three available setting types:

Type...	...displays
toggle	Boolean
text	Single-line text input
textarea	Multi-line text input

All the strings hard-coded in this package (like in the "Save" button), as well as any you pass to it (like the name of any of your settings), can easily be translated using Laravel's built-in localization features.
