Using Laravel Config and Localization Based on Site Settings

Use Laravel’s encrypt and decrypt helpers for storing sensitive data securely:

   $encrypted = encrypt($sensitiveData);
   $decrypted = decrypt($encrypted);

• The front-end requires a specific JSON structure for pagination data.
• You need metadata like the total number of items, current page, and links for next/previous pages.
• Cursor-based pagination is preferred over traditional offset-based pagination for large datasets.

We’ll implement a custom solution to meet these needs.

   namespace Database\Seeders;

   use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
   use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;

   class SiteSettingsSeeder extends Seeder
   {
       public function run()
       {
           DB::table('site_settings')->insert([
               ['key' => 'sidebar_visible', 'value' => 'true'],
               ['key' => 'featured_products_widget', 'value' => 'true'],
               ['key' => 'recent_posts_widget', 'value' => 'false'],
           ]);
       }
   }

   php artisan db:seed --class=SiteSettingsSeeder

Open or create a service provider like AppServiceProvider:

   namespace App\Providers;

   use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
   use Illuminate\Support\Facades\View;

   class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
   {
       public function boot()
       {
           // Example global data
           $globalData = [
               'app_theme' => 'dark', // Current app theme
               'api_limit' => 100,    // API request limit
           ];

           // Share data with all views
           View::share('globalData', $globalData);
       }
   }

• Admins want to control the number of products or posts displayed per page.
• Pagination limits (e.g., 10, 20, or 50 items per page) should be adjustable dynamically from a database-driven configuration.

We’ll create a system to manage pagination settings dynamically.

• User Roles: Determine if a user has admin or moderator privileges.
• Feature Toggles: Enable or disable features like file uploads.
• App-Wide Configurations: Share global preferences like application mode or API limits.

We will implement these as shared properties and methods in a Base Controller.

• Application Timezone: Configure the app’s timezone dynamically.
• Notification Preferences: Enable or disable notifications.
• API Rate Limit: Define the maximum number of API requests allowed per minute.

These settings will be stored in a database, retrieved efficiently, and made accessible throughout the application.

<!-- This will output the translated 'welcome' message based on the current language setting -->
<p>@lang('messages.welcome')</p>

Alternatively, you can use the __() helper function:
