Meta Options

Hexa ships with a simple key/value store backed by the hexa_options table — handy for app-wide settings such as a site name, maintenance flag, or the content of a Terms & Conditions page.

// Store a value
hexa()->setOption('site_name', 'Acme Admin');

// Retrieve a value (with an optional default)
hexa()->getOption('site_name', 'Default Name');

// Get the timestamp the option was created
hexa()->dateOption('site_name');

// List every stored option key
hexa()->getOptionKeys();

Behavior notes

• Values are serialized, so you can store strings, numbers, arrays, and other serializable data.

• Options are cached after writing for fast reads.

• Setting a value to null removes the option:

  hexa()->setOption('temporary', null); // deletes the option

• getOption() will store the provided default the first time a missing key is requested.
