For this assignment, create a new Laravel application called "assignment-5".
Create a configurations Table
In your database, create a table via a migration named configurations with columns id (primary key), name (string), and value (boolean). Be sure to add timestamp columns (created_at and updated_at) via the timestamps() method. These will be used when you update this table via Eloquent.
Insert a record into this table with name set to maintenance-mode and value set to false.
Maintenance Mode Middleware
You are going to create middleware that redirects users to a maintenance mode page (that you design yourself) at the URL path /maintenance if there is a record in the configurations table with a name of maintenance-mode and its value is true. If that record's value is false, users should be able to access the URL they requested. Create a test page at /test with anything you want on it with your middleware applied to it to verify everything works as expected.
If a user makes a request to /maintenance and the maintenance-mode setting is set false, the user should be redirected to /.
Name the middleware class MaintenanceMode.
A Settings Page
Create a secret page at /secret where you can toggle the value column of the record in the configurations table with a name of maintenance-mode using a checkbox. This page should not have the MaintenanceMode middleware applied to it.
Hint: Use $request->has() or $request->boolean() to determine if the checkbox is checked or not.
