Laravel service provider to retrieve data from database

Question

I'm new to Laravel service provider, All I want is to pull the database data out and return it, so my config file can access to that data.

How can I do this in Laravel service provider.

Answer 1

Example using the boot method to access database and publish it to a temporary config key.

class YourServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        $welcomeMessage = "Welcome " . \App\User::first()->name;
        config(['your-namespace.message' => $welcomeMessage ]);
    }

Later in other files across your application you can access it like this

Route::get('/', function () {
    return config('your-namespace.message');
});
