Laravel Model Cache

This package does not cache models, it gives you helpers to manage the Laravel Cache using a model instance. By default, logged in users will each have their own separate cache prefix.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require foxws/laravel-modelcache

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="modelcache-config"

Usage

Implement the Foxws\ModelCache\Concerns\InteractsWithModelCache trait to your Eloquent models:

use Foxws\ModelCache\Concerns\InteractsWithModelCache;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Video extends Model
{
    use InteractsWithModelCache;
}

Model instances

To set a cache model value:

Video::first()->modelCache('currentTime', 20);
Video::first()->modelCache('randomSeed', 20, now()->addDay()); // cache for one day

To retrieve a cached model value:

Video::first()->modelCached('currentTime');
Video::first()->modelCached('randomSeed', $default); // with fallback

To forget a cached model value:

Video::first()->modelCacheForget('currentTime');
Video::first()->modelCacheForget('randomSeed');

Model class caching

To set a model class cache value:

Video::modelClassCache('randomSeed', 0.1);
Video::modelClassCache('randomSeed', 0.1, now()->addDay()); // cache for one day

To retrieve a model class cached value:

Video::modelClassCached('randomSeed');
Video::modelClassCached('randomSeed', $default);

To forget a model class cached value:

Video::modelClassCacheForget('randomSeed');

Creating a custom cache profile

To determine which values should be cached, and for how long, a cache profile class is used. The default class that handles these questions is Foxws\ModelCache\CacheProfiles\CacheAllSuccessful.

You can create your own cache profile class by implementing the Foxws\ModelCache\CacheProfile\CacheProfile, and overruling the cache_profile in config/modelcache.php.

It is also possible to overrule the cache prefix using the model instance. For this create a method named cacheNameSuffix on the model instance:

use Foxws\ModelCache\Concerns\InteractsWithModelCache;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Video extends Model
{
    use InteractsWithModelCache;

    /**
     * @doc When using a overule, it doesn't create a separated cache by default for authenticated users.
     */
    protected function cacheNameSuffix(string $key): string
    {
        return "{$key}:my-modelcache-prefix";
    }
}
