Caching

[Jamesking56]

It would be great if this package provided a new abstractclass called CachedRepository which would cache repository responses for better performance (and add an API to clear said caches).

@Jamesking56 interesting. In the past I've done this by having an abstract parent repository that does something like:

public function getOrSet(\Closure $functionality, ...$arguments) {
    $hash = generateHashFromArgumentsAndStuff();
    $result = $this->cache->get($hash);

    if (! $result) {
        $result = $functionality(...$arguments);
        $this->cache->set($has, $result);
    }

    return $result;
}

I've even experimented with the idea of using the backtrace to get the method name and generate a custom hash. What would you expect? Auto keys or specified?

I'd actually like to see auto keys with the option of specify custom ones
