Eloquent Cache

Easily cache your Laravel's Eloquent models.

Requirements

• PHP >= 7.2

• Laravel 6 / 7 / 8

Installation

Install via composer :

composer require authentik/eloquent-cache

How it works

• When Eloquent fetches models, the JSON representations of the model instances are cached.

• Subsequently, when eloquent fetches a model by ID, the cached JSON will be converted back into an instance.

Usage

Use the Cacheable trait in the models you want to cache.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Authentik\EloquentCache\Cacheable;

class Category extends Model
{
    use Cacheable;


    /*
     * You can optionally override the following functions:
     */
    
    // Time To Live in minutes (default value: 0 => no TTL)
    public function getCacheTTL() {
        return 60;
    }

    // default value: the lowercase name of the model
    public function getCacheTagName() {
        return 'cat';
    }

    // Cache busting will automatically invalidate the cache when model instances are updated or deleted.
    // default value: true
    public function isCacheBustingEnabled() {
        return false;
    }

    // Whether or not to keep model instances in a static array cache
    //  (useful to avoid querying the cache store/building instances from json multiple times)
    // default value: true
    public function isStaticCacheEnabled() {
        return false;
    }
}

To manually cache a model instance, use the cache method.

Category::find(1)->cache();

To invalidate the cache for a model instance, use the refresh or flush method.

$refreshedInstance = Category::find(1)->refresh();

// or

Category::flush(Category::find(1));

To invalidate the cache for all instances of a model, use the flush method.

Category::flush();
