Using Laravel Config and Localization Based on Site Settings

• Use built-in Laravel features like query bindings, CSRF protection, and encryption to secure your application.
• Validate and sanitize user inputs to prevent SQL injection and XSS.
• Monitor and audit your application regularly for vulnerabilities.

By implementing these best practices and leveraging Laravel’s built-in security features, you can safeguard your application against common vulnerabilities. Secure authentication, input validation, and data encryption are essential for building robust and reliable applications.

Add query parameters for sorting:

   public function index(Request $request)
   {
       $sortBy = $request->get('sort_by', 'id');
       $sortOrder = $request->get('sort_order', 'asc');

       $posts = Post::orderBy($sortBy, $sortOrder)->paginate(10);

       return response()->json([
           'data' => $posts->items(),
           'meta' => [
               'current_page' => $posts->currentPage(),
               'per_page' => $posts->perPage(),
               'total' => $posts->total(),
               'last_page' => $posts->lastPage(),
           ],
           'links' => [
               'next' => $posts->nextPageUrl(),
               'previous' => $posts->previousPageUrl(),
           ],
       ]);
   }

• Toggle the visibility of a sidebar or specific widgets.
• Control the number of items displayed in a section (e.g., recent posts or featured products).
• Enable or disable specific content sections dynamically.

We’ll build a system to manage these behaviors using site settings stored in a database.

In AppServiceProvider or a custom service provider, load and share data:

   namespace App\Providers;

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

   class GlobalDataServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
   {
       public function boot()
       {
           $globalConfig = [
               'app_mode' => 'live', // Example: Maintenance or live mode
               'support_email' => 'support@example.com',
           ];

           View::share('globalConfig', $globalConfig);
       }
   }
