Beartropy Settings

Configuration Files

You cannot use the get_setting() helper inside files in the /config directory (e.g., config/services.php). Laravel loads configuration files before the database connection is established. Attempting to use database-driven settings here will result in an error.

1// app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php
2 
3public function boot()
4{
5    // Override config values with database settings safely
6    if (Schema::hasTable('beartropy_settings')) {
7        config(['app.name' => get_setting('general.site.name', config('app.name'))]);
8    }
9}

Service Providers

• register() method: Avoid using setting() here, as the database connection might not be fully initialized or other services might not be ready.
• boot() method: This is the recommended place to use setting() if you need to configure services dynamically based on database settings.
