LaraCache is an ORM based package for Laravel to create, update and manage cache items based on model queries

LaraCache

GitHub Workflow Status Codecov branch Quality Score GitHub license Packagist Downloads Latest Version on Packagist

Using this package, you can cache your heavy and most used queries.

All you have to do is to define the CacheEntity objects in the model and specify a valid name and ttl for them.

LaraCache will handle the rest of process automatically. It will create and update cache entities based on ttl that you've defined for each entity.

Manually updating the cache entities of models after dispatching model events (creating, updating and deleting) isn't required, LaraCache manages them in the background and ensures the most up-to-date version of each cache entity.

Installation

  1. Install the package via composer:
    composer require mostafaznv/laracache
    
  2. Publish config file:
    php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mostafaznv\LaraCache\LaraCacheServiceProvider"
    
  3. Done

Usage

  1. Add LaraCache trait to the model
    <?php
    
    namespace App\Models;
    
    use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
    use Mostafaznv\LaraCache\Traits\LaraCache;
    
    class Article extends Model
    {
        use LaraCache;
    
        /**
         * Define Cache Entities Entities
         *
         * @return CacheEntity[]
         */
        public static function cacheEntities(): array
        {
            return [
                CacheEntity::make('list.forever')
                    ->cache(function() {
                        return Article::query()->latest()->get();
                    }),
    
                CacheEntity::make('latest')
                    ->validForRestOfDay()
                    ->cache(function() {
                        return Article::query()->latest()->first();
                    })
            ];
        }
    }
    
  2. Retrieve Cache
    use App\Models\Article;
    use Mostafaznv\LaraCache\Facades\LaraCache;
    
    
    $cache = Article::cache()->get('latest');
    // or
    $cache = LaraCache::retrieve(Article::class, 'latest');

CacheEntity Methods

method Arguments description
setDriver driver (type: string) Specifies custom driver for cache entity
isQueueable status (type: bool, default: 'true') Specifies if cache operation should perform in the background or not
refreshAfterCreate status (type: bool, default: true) Specifies if the cache should refresh after create a record
refreshAfterUpdate status (type: bool, default: true) Specifies if the cache should refresh after update a record
refreshAfterDelete status (type: bool, default: true) Specifies if the cache should refresh after delete a record
refreshAfterRestore status (type: bool, default: true) Specifies if the cache should refresh after restore a record
forever Specifies that the cache should be valid forever
validForRestOfDay Specify that cache entity should be valid till end of day
validForRestOfWeek Specify that cache entity should be valid till end of week
ttl seconds (type: int) Specifies cache time to live in second
setDefault defaultValue (type: mixed) Specifies default value for the case that cache entity doesn't have any value
cache Closure Main part of each cache entity. defines cache content

Disable/Enable Cache

If you want to disable/enable cache, you can do it in the following two ways:

Disable

use App\Models\Article;
use Mostafaznv\LaraCache\Facades\LaraCache;


Article::cache()->disable();
// or 
LaraCache::disable(Article::class);

Enable

use App\Models\Article;
use Mostafaznv\LaraCache\Facades\LaraCache;


Article::cache()->enable();
// or 
LaraCache::enable(Article::class);

Update Cache Manually

Sometimes you want to update cache entities manually.

Update an Entity

use App\Models\Article;
use Mostafaznv\LaraCache\Facades\LaraCache;


Article::cache()->update('latest');
// or 
LaraCache::update(Article::class, 'latest');

Update all Entities

use App\Models\Article;
use Mostafaznv\LaraCache\Facades\LaraCache;


Article::cache()->updateAll();
// or 
LaraCache::updateAll(Article::class);

Update all LaraCache Entities

This will update all cache entities that stored using LaraCache (across all models)

use App\Models\Article;
use Mostafaznv\LaraCache\Facades\LaraCache;

 
LaraCache::updateAll();

Delete Cache Manually

Sometimes you want to delete cache entities manually. using these methods, you can do it.

Delete an Entity

Using this feature, you can delete cache entities temporary. after spending ttl, cache entity will be generated again.

use App\Models\Article;
use Mostafaznv\LaraCache\Facades\LaraCache;


Article::cache()->delete('latest');
// or 
LaraCache::delete(Article::class, 'latest');

Delete an Entity Forever

Using this feature, you can delete cache entities permanently. Cache item will be deleted forever and whenever you try to retrieve it, you will get null (or default value).

use App\Models\Article;
use Mostafaznv\LaraCache\Facades\LaraCache;


Article::cache()->delete('latest', true);
// or 
LaraCache::delete(Article::class, 'latest', true);

Note: Cache Entity will update after creating or updating records in your model

Delete all Model Entities

use App\Models\Article;
use Mostafaznv\LaraCache\Facades\LaraCache;


Article::cache()->deleteAll();
// or 
LaraCache::deleteAll(Article::class);

Delete all Model Entities Forever

use App\Models\Article;
use Mostafaznv\LaraCache\Facades\LaraCache;


Article::cache()->deleteAll(true);
// or 
LaraCache::deleteAll(Article::class, true);

Delete all LaraCache Entities

This will delete all cache entities that stored using LaraCache (across all models)

use App\Models\Article;
use Mostafaznv\LaraCache\Facades\LaraCache;

LaraCache::deleteAll();
// forever
LaraCache::deleteAll(forever: true);

Config Properties

method Type description
driver string (default: null) The default mechanism for handling cache storage.
If you keep this option null, LaraCache will use the default cache storage from config/cache.php
laracache-list string (default: laracache.list) LaraCache uses a separate list to store name of all entities. using these keys, we can perform some actions to all entities (such as update or delete them)
first-day-of-week integer (default: 0) In some regions, saturday is first day of the week and in another regions it may be different. you can change the first day of a week by changing this property
last-day-of-week integer (default: 6) In some regions, friday is last day of the week and in another regions it may be different. you can change the last day of a week by changing this property
queue bool (default: false) Sometimes caching process is very heavy, so you have to queue the process and do it in background.
