Basic Usage
Switch Maintenance Mode Driver
By default, Laravel uses a "file based" maintenance mode. This means that each time you invoke php artisan down, a down file is created inside your application storage, e.g. storage/framework/down. The application checks if this file exists and prevents, amongst other things, http requests from proceeding.
If you wish to change the maintenance mode "driver", you could do so via a custom service provider.
Custom Service Provider
Inside your application, create and register a service provider that replaces the default bound \Illuminate\Contracts\Foundation\MaintenanceMode, with another driver.
<?php
namespace Acme\Providers;
use Aedart\Maintenance\Modes\Traits\MaintenanceModeManagerTrait;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Foundation\MaintenanceMode;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class SwitchMaintenanceMode extends ServiceProvider
{
use MaintenanceModeManagerTrait;
public function register()
{
// Overwrite Laravel's default maintenance mode driver...
$this->app->bind(
MaintenanceMode::class,
fn() => $this->getMaintenanceModeManager()->driver('json')
);
}
}
The above code ensures to use a "json file based" maintenance mode driver, whenever the application is taken down. For additional information, please review Laravel's documentation about maintenance modes.
