Making Spatie Laravel Settings Independent of the Database in Test and Deployment Environments

[mrmmg]

Recently I encountered a problem that I described in #307. With a Trick, I can solve this issue. You can read it on medium.com

Special thanks to @gazben for contributing PR #298

Hi, I'm new to Laravel... I had to deal with this issue while deploying a "skeleton" app via Coolify, and during the deployment process, without access to the db the app doesn't deploy correctly. So I could adopt your solution to decouple my settings from the db. Now that the laravel-settings package is at version 3.4.4 and the PR you mentioned has been merged, it's not clear to me what interventions I should do on my code to benefit from it. Could you elaborate on the topic if you have the opportunity? Thanks in advance.

Now i've in my app:

namespace App\Settings;

use Spatie\LaravelSettings\Settings;

class MailSettings extends Settings
{
    public string $host = '';
    public int $port = 0;
    public string $encryption = '';
    public string $username = '';
    public string $password = '';
    public string $from_address = '';
    public string $from_name = '';
    
    public static function group(): string
    {
        return 'mail';
    }
}

Previously in AppServiceProvider i had following code caused deplyment failure

   public function boot(): void
    {
        //
        // Initialize mail settings
        $mailSettings = app(MailSettings::class);

        $mailHost = $mailSettings->host;
        $mailPort = $mailSettings->port;
        $mailEncryption = $mailSettings->encryption;
        $mailUsername = $mailSettings->username;
        $mailPassword = $mailSettings->password;
        $mailFromAddress = $mailSettings->from_address;
        $mailFromName = $mailSettings->from_name;

        config([
            'mail.host' => $mailHost,
            'mail.port' => $mailPort,
            'mail.encryption' => $mailEncryption,
            'mail.username' => $mailUsername,
            'mail.password' => $mailPassword,
            'mail.from.address' => $mailFromAddress,
            'mail.from.name' => $mailFromName,
        ]);
    }

Hi
Can you describe more to me what do you do? how you deploy your project on coolify?
If you can write for me a full example of your application.
