Laravel DB Vault

A simple Laravel package that allows you to store and retrieve environment variables in a database. It supports optional encryption for additional security.

Installation

composer install zappzerapp/laravel-db-vault

Usage

Retrieve values

Use the vault(string $context, string $key, mixed $default = null) helper to retrieve values from the database:

$imageSize = vault('user', 'image_size', '1280x720');

Save values

Use the vault_set(string $context, string $key, mixed $value, bool $encrypted = false) helper to store values in the database:

To save an unencrypted value:

vault_set('user', 'image_size', '1337x420');

To save an encrypted value:

vault_set('aws', 'api_key', 'secret_api_key', true);

Encryption

The stored values can be protected with the encryption option. If the parameter $encrypt parameter is set to true, the value is encrypted before being saved. The vault() helper decrypts the value automatically when it is retrieved.
