How to set global dynamic variables in Laravel?

Question

I need to set global variables in Laravel that I can modify whenever I want. Suppose that I have an admin area where I want to be able to modify colors, ads ... etc. How can I do that, without storing values in the database?

Use sessions, session()->set('foo', 'bar') and session()->get('foo') — Ravisha Hesh

You can use in-memory databases like Redis, it already has support out of the box in Laravel. — Shady Atef

You could use environment variables as well, and then access them with getenv() — lolsky

Honestly, based on what you're describing. I think it's the best (and easiest) solution to use a database. Last thing you want to do is deal with issues when you (will eventually) need to clear sessions/cache/redis, etc. I wouldn't overthink it IMHO. — Mike Barwick

You can use the config.

For the example, I am using Jenssegers\Agent\Agent to detect is the client desktop and generate different views and different queries. For that, I have created config/globalVars.php:

use Jenssegers\Agent\Agent;
$agent = new Agent();

return [
    'isDesktop' => $agent->isDesktop()
];

Now, I can use config('globalVars.isMobile') everywhere.

In your case, you want and to change these vars:

    var_dump(config('globalVars.isDesktop')); // true/false

    config(['globalVars' => ['isDesktop' => 'fake info']]);

    var_dump(config('globalVars.isDesktop')); // fake info
