Why isn't there a setting() helper?

[Rattone]

Is there a reason why this package doesn't include an helper to get settings for example in blade views?
A common example: I have a footer.copyright setting for the text in footer.

The whole point of the package is strongly typed settings, you would lose those with such a method, refactoring wouldn't work anymore, no IDE hints etc

Writing:

app(FooterSettings::class)->copyright

Isn't that horrible in my opinion tbh.

It should be possible to create a custom helper function and/or Facade, of course.

For example, there's a package Laravel Settings, started by Randall Wilk, that provides a helper function:

if (! function_exists('settings')) {
    function settings($key = null, $default = null, $context = null)
    {

Source: src/helpers.php

An example is provided in their documentation:

// Store
Settings::set('foo', 'bar');
settings()->set('foo', 'bar');
settings(['foo' => 'bar']);

// Retrieving
Settings::get('foo'); // 'bar
settings()->get('foo');
settings('foo');

It's worth to note that they also mention Spatie's package on the same documentation page.
