This package makes it easy to store and retrieve some loose values. Stored values are saved as a json file.
It can be used like this:
use Spatie\Valuestore\Valuestore;
$valuestore = Valuestore::make($pathToFile);
$valuestore->put('key', 'value');
$valuestore->get('key'); // Returns 'value'
$valuestore->has('key'); // Returns true
// Specify a default value for when the specified key does not exist
$valuestore->get('non existing key', 'default') // Returns 'default'
$valuestore->put('anotherKey', 'anotherValue');
// Put multiple items in one go
$valuestore->put(['ringo' => 'drums', 'paul' => 'bass']);
$valuestore->all(); // Returns an array with all items
$valuestore->forget('key'); // Removes the item
$valuestore->flush(); // Empty the entire valuestore
$valuestore->flushStartingWith('somekey'); // remove all items whose keys start with "somekey"
$valuestore->increment('number'); // $valuestore->get('number') will return 1
$valuestore->increment('number'); // $valuestore->get('number') will return 2
$valuestore->increment('number', 3); // $valuestore->get('number') will return 5
// Valuestore implements ArrayAccess
$valuestore['key'] = 'value';
$valuestore['key']; // Returns 'value'
isset($valuestore['key']); // Return true
unset($valuestore['key']); // Equivalent to removing the value
// Valuestore implements Countable
count($valuestore); // Returns 0
$valuestore->put('key', 'value');
count($valuestore); // Returns 1

In this post on Laravel News, Tim MacDonald shares how you can use this package to power a settings
function.
Spatie is a webdesign agency based in Antwerp, Belgium. You'll find an overview of all our open source projects on our website.
We invest a lot of resources into creating best in class open source packages. You can support us by buying one of our paid products.
We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on our contact page. We publish all received postcards on our virtual postcard wall.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require spatie/valuestore
To create a Valuestore use the make
method.
$valuestore = Valuestore::make($pathToFile);
You can also pass some values as a second argument. These will be added to the valuestore using the put
method.
$valuestore = Valuestore::make($pathToFile, ['key' => 'value']);
All values will be saved as json in the given file.
When there are no values stored, the file will be deleted.
You can call the following methods on the Valuestore
/**
* Put a value in the store.
*
* @param string|array $name
* @param string|int|null $value
*
* @return $this
*/
public function put($name, $value = null)
/**
* Get a value from the store.
*

*
* @return null|string
*/
public function get(string $name)
/*
* Determine if the store has a value for the given name.
*/
public function has(string $name) : bool
/**
* Get all values from the store.

public function all() : array
/**

*/
public function flush()
/**

/**

*/
public function pull(string $name)
/**

*
* @param string $name
* @param int $by
*
* @return int|null|string
*/
public function increment(string $name, int $by = 1)
/**
* Decrement a value from the store.
*
* @param string $name
* @param int $by
*
* @return int|null|string
*/
public function decrement(string $name, int $by = 1)
/**
* Push a new value into an array.
*
* @param string $name
* @param $pushValue
*
* @return $this
*/
public function push(string $name, $pushValue)
/**

*
* @param string $name
