voyager vs nova

ok I know one is paid and the other is free, that is not the issue

just want to know which of the two is better, I know its subjective but there is something I read online

one person said that voyager stores settings in the database and that causes issues with migrations. Im not a professional programmer so i'm not sure what that means

does it mean that when you migrate, you lose all your voyager settings? and if so, how does nova get around that?

Hi @michalis

yes all ur setting will be stored in the database and i think all of them do that

or where they can save data ?!

but this probleme can be solved with seeders u can use iseed package its perfect for that

iSeed

nova is very good too

but u can use voyager i did use it in a project it work perfectly fine

documentations are available and good for both of them

@safemood I appreciate you taking the time to explain things to me

I am a novice basically so some concepts are over my head

does the fact that voyager saves to the database, mean that I have to migrate the database when i deploy my app? and does this mean that I dont need to do it with nova?

@michalis ur welcome

yes u need to migrate your database cuz if u didnt all your settings will be lost it will return to default settings (voyager settings) i didn't try nova yet but in any app to save things u need database always there is default settings then u make ur own custom this why u will need seeders to save your settings if u want u cant save ur content too

See this video to learn more about seeders
