Laravel model cache helper

This package allows the Laravel Cache driver to be easily used for model instances. By default, logged in users will have their own separate cache-prefix.

Installation

Install the package via composer:

composer require foxws/laravel-modelcache

Publish the config file with:

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

Usage

Model Concern

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

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

class Video extends Model
{
    use InteractsWithModelCache;
}

Facade

It is also possible to use the ModelCache Facade directly:

use Foxws\ModelCache\Facades\ModelCache;

class MyActionClass
{
    public function handle(Video $model): void
    {
        if (! ModelCache::enabled()) {
            // modelcaching is disabled
            return;
        }

        ModelCache::cache($model, 'foo', 'bar');
        ModelCache::hasBeenCached($model, 'foo');
        ModelCache::getCachedValue($model, 'foo');
    }
}

Model instance

To put a cache value for a model instance:

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

To retrieve a cached model instance value:

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

To validate if a cached model instance value exists:

$model = Video::findOrFail(10);

if (! $model->hasModelCache('currentTime')) {
    $model->modelCache('currentTime', 20);
}

return $model->modelCached('currentTime');

To forget a cached model value:

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

Model caching (global)

To put a model cache value based on its class:

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

To retrieve a model class cached value:

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

To validate if a model class cached value exists:

Video::hasModelCache('randomSeed');

To forget a model class cached value:

Video::forgetModelCache('randomSeed');

Creating a custom cache profile

To determine which values should be cached, 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;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class Video extends Model
{
    use InteractsWithModelCache;

    protected function cacheNameSuffix(string $key): string
    {
        // return Auth::check()
        //     ? (string) Auth::id()
        //     : '';

        // return "{$key}:{$this->getMorphClass()}";

        return ''; // do not use a separate cache for users
    }
}
