CloudFront Package for Laravel

This is a wrapper package for AWS CloudFront. Please note that while this package is used in production environments and is completely functional, it currently only focuses on cache invalidations.

PRs & ideas are more than welcome! 🙏🏼

💡 Usage

use Meema\CloudFront\Facades\CloudFront;
use Meema\CloudFront\Jobs\InvalidateCache;

// run any of the following CloudFront methods:
$client = CloudFront::getClient(); // exposes the AWS CloudFront client

$paths = ['/some-path.jpg', '/another/path.png'];
$result = CloudFront::invalidate($paths, string $distributionId = null);

// invalidates everything, which is the equivalent to a item path of `/*`.
$result = CloudFront::reset();

$message = CloudFront::getInvalidation(string $invalidationId, string $distributionId = null);
$messages = CloudFront::listInvalidations(string $distributionId = null);

// it's recommended to invalidate your cache using a job
dispatch(new InvalidateCache($path.'*')); // you may want to add a '*'-wildcard at the end of your path if you whitelisted any query parameters

Please note, object invalidations typically take from 60 to 300 seconds to complete. You can check the status of an invalidation by viewing your distribution from the CloudFront console.
