Cache

A laravel package that allows using two caching engines, one as a fallback for the other

Installation

Add the following to your composer.json file's require section:

	"masnun/cache": "dev-master"

Run composer update. Composer should install the latest version of the package.

Now, register the Service Provider in app/config/app.php file. Add the following line to the providers array:

'Masnun\Cache\CacheServiceProvider'

You should next register an alias for the API. We recommend MCache. Add the following line to the aliases array in the same file:

'MCache'  => 'Masnun\Cache\CacheFacade',

Let's publish the configuration values for the package. Execute from the command line:

php artisan config:publish masnun/cache

The configuration file will be published to app/config/packages/masnun/cache/cache.php. Please feel free to tweak the values. Here's a short description:

• primary - the name of the primary cache driver (eg. 'memcached' for memcached )
• secondary - the name of the fallback cache driver
• default_expiration - the default value for cache expiration
• async - should the data be offloaded using background async queues?
• async_driver - if yes, then using which queue driver?

(PS: The async data offloading still not implemented, it's work in progress).

Code Sample

Route::get('/', function ()
{
    MCache::put('name', 'masnun', 60);
    return MCache::get('name');
});

Please feel free to be creative and try the usual Cache APIs. Here's a list of currently implemented methods:

• put()
• add()
• has()
• get()
• forever()
• remember()
• rememberForever()
• pull()
• forget()
