Hi All, this is Adi, again with another Laravel blog post. This time, I wanted to share my solution to loading custom settings from a JSON file into Laravel’s config. Firstly, what’s the use case for this? I was working on a client project, where they had a huge list of configurations in a JSON file, and I had to use them in the code. An ideal solution for this could be storing these settings in the database and query them on demand, but I was not able to persuade them to this option, so here’s my solution to how I did it.
