### Override Backpack 'show_powered_by' Setting

Source: https://github.com/laravel-backpack/settings/blob/main/README.md

This snippet demonstrates how to override the Backpack 'show_powered_by' configuration setting. It involves adding a method to `AppServiceProvider` to read the setting from the database and apply it to the application's configuration. This requires a database entry for the 'show_powered_by' setting.

```php
<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Bootstrap any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        $this->overrideConfigValues();
    }

    /**
     * Register any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        //
    }

    protected function overrideConfigValues()
    {
        $config = [];
        if (config('settings.show_powered_by')) {
            $config['backpack.ui.show_powered_by'] = config('settings.show_powered_by') == '1';
        }
        config($config);
    }
}

```

### Database Entry for 'show_powered_by' Setting

Source: https://github.com/laravel-backpack/settings/blob/main/README.md

This shows the structure of a database entry required to override the 'show_powered_by' setting in Laravel Backpack. The 'field' column must be a JSON string, and the 'name' key within that JSON must be 'value'.

```APIDOC
Database Table: settings

| Field       | Value                                                                   |
|-------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| key         | show_powered_by                                                         |
| name        | Showed Powered By                                                       |
| description | Whether to show the powered by Backpack on the bottom right corner or not. |
| value       | 1                                                                       |
| field       | {"name":"value","label":"Value","type":"checkbox"}                         |
| active      | 1                                                                       |
