Usage

This package use cache memory to save variables, instead of retrieving them from database each time you need to use it:

1. When you save a variable, cache of this variable is cleared.
2. First time you retrieve a variable it is saved to cache.

To register a new variable on Settings:

1. Create a migration with the name and key of the variable:
   1. The available types are: bool, string, float, array

    DB::table('settings')->insert([
            'id' => 'APP_URL',
            'type' => 'string'
    ]);

2. Run migrations: php artisan migrate
3. Access your nova url and fill the variable with the value: For booleans use 0 (false) and 1 (true).
4. Use variable in your code using:

    $settingRepository = new SettingRepository();
    
    $value = $settingRepository->find('key');
