Global Repository

To work with the GlobalSet Repository, use the following Facade:

use Statamic\Facades\GlobalSet;

Methods

Querying

Globals are a bit unique in that there is a single "container" – the Global Set – which contains common things like its title and handle. The actual variables are stored separately by site (even when not using the multi-site feature).

$set = GlobalSet::findByHandle('theme'); // returns a `GlobalSet`
$variables = $set->in($site); // returns a `Variables`
$variables->get('favicon'); // returns the value

Of course, you can chain this:

GlobalSet::findByHandle('theme')->in($site)->get('favicon')

$set->in('siteHandle'); // A specific site handle from sites.php
$set->inDefaultSite(); // The first site in sites.php
$set->inCurrentSite(); // The site the user is currently visiting.

Creating

Start by making a global set instance with the make method. You can pass in the handle.

$globals = GlobalSet::make('settings')->title('Settings');

The variables are stored per-site in a Variables object. You can make one using the makeLocalization method, passing in the site handle. Then attach it to the set.

$variables = $globals->makeLocalization('default');
$variables->data($data); // array of values
$globals->addLocalization($variables);

Finally, save it.

$globals->save();
