🚀 Filament Cache Plugin

The ultimate caching solution for Filament PHP. Supercharge your admin panels with intelligent, zero-config caching that works out of the box. Experience 10x faster page loads and dramatically improved user experience.

✨ Why Choose This Plugin?

📊 Cache Management

Monitor and control your cache with built-in tools:

Commands:

# Check cache status
php artisan filament-cache:status

# Clear all caches  
php artisan filament-cache:clear

# Monitor performance in real-time
php artisan filament-cache:monitor

# Generate performance report
php artisan filament-cache:report --export

Performance Monitoring:

// Get real-time metrics
FilamentCache::getMetrics();

// Returns: hit rate, response times, cache size, etc.

🎯 Real-World Example

Here's how easy it is to cache everything in your Filament resources:

// Before: Slow resource with heavy queries
class OrderResource extends Resource
{
    protected static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder
    {
        return parent::getEloquentQuery()
            ->with(['customer', 'items.product', 'payments'])
            ->withCount(['items', 'payments'])
            ->withSum('payments', 'amount');
    }
    
    public static function table(Table $table): Table
    {
        return $table->columns([
            TextColumn::make('total_revenue')
                ->getStateUsing(fn($record) => 
                    $record->calculateComplexRevenue() // Heavy calculation
                ),
        ]);
    }
}

// After: Lightning fast with zero config
class OrderResource extends Resource
{
    use CachesEverything; // 🚀 Add this trait
    
    protected static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder
    {
        return parent::getEloquentQuery()
            ->with(['customer', 'items.product', 'payments'])
            ->withCount(['items', 'payments'])
            ->withSum('payments', 'amount')
            ->cached(600); // ⚡ Cache for 10 minutes
    }
    
    public static function table(Table $table): Table
    {
        return $table->columns([
            TextColumn::make('total_revenue')
                ->cached(fn($record) => 
                    $record->calculateComplexRevenue() // Now cached!
                ),
        ]);
    }
}

Result: Page loads 10x faster with zero database queries on subsequent requests!

# Plugin Settings (Optional)
FILAMENT_CACHE_ENABLED=true
FILAMENT_CACHE_TTL=300
FILAMENT_CACHE_PAGES=true

Step 4: Register the Plugin

Add to your Panel Provider (app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php):

<?php

namespace App\Providers\Filament;

use Filament\Panel;
use Filament\PanelProvider;
use FilamentCache\FilamentCachePlugin;

class AdminPanelProvider extends PanelProvider
{
    public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
    {
        return $panel
            ->default()
            ->id('admin')
            ->path('admin')
            ->plugins([
                // Add the cache plugin
                FilamentCachePlugin::make(),
            ]);
    }
}

Step 5: Clear Cache & Test

# Clear existing caches
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear

# Test your Filament admin panel
# Pages should now load much faster! 🚀

That's it! 🎉 Your Filament app is now supercharged with intelligent caching.

🚀 How to Use

The plugin works automatically out of the box, but here are ways to maximize its power:

🔥 Zero Configuration Usage

The plugin automatically caches:

• ✅ Page responses - Entire admin pages
• ✅ Database queries - All Eloquent queries
• ✅ Navigation menus - Admin navigation
• ✅ Form options - Select dropdowns
• ✅ Widget data - Dashboard widgets

No code changes needed! Just install and enjoy 10x faster performance.

⚡ Enhanced Usage with Traits

For maximum performance, add caching traits to your resources:

Cache Everything in Resources

<?php

namespace App\Filament\Resources;

use Filament\Resources\Resource;
use FilamentCache\Concerns\CachesEverything;

class UserResource extends Resource
{
    use CachesEverything; // 🚀 Add this line
    
    // Your existing code stays the same!
    // Everything is now automatically cached
}

Cache Expensive Queries

// Before: Slow query
protected static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder
{
    return parent::getEloquentQuery()
        ->with(['roles', 'profile', 'orders']);
}

// After: Cached query (10x faster!)
protected static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder
{
    return parent::getEloquentQuery()
        ->with(['roles', 'profile', 'orders'])
        ->cached(300); // Cache for 5 minutes
}

Cache Form Options

// Before: Database hit on every page load
Select::make('category_id')
    ->options(Category::pluck('name', 'id'))

// After: Cached options (instant loading!)
Select::make('category_id')
    ->cachedOptions('categories', fn() => 
        Category::pluck('name', 'id')
    )

Cache Table Calculations

// Before: Expensive calculation on every row
TextColumn::make('total_orders')
    ->getStateUsing(fn($record) => $record->orders()->count())

// After: Cached calculation (instant display!)
TextColumn::make('total_orders')
    ->cached(fn($record) => $record->orders()->count())

Cache Widget Data

<?php

namespace App\Filament\Widgets;

use Filament\Widgets\StatsOverviewWidget;
use FilamentCache\Concerns\CachesWidgets;

class StatsWidget extends StatsOverviewWidget
{
    use CachesWidgets; // 🚀 Add this line
    
    protected function getStats(): array
    {
        // Cache expensive statistics
        return $this->cacheData([
            'total_users' => User::count(),
            'total_orders' => Order::count(),
            'revenue' => Order::sum('total'),
        ], ttl: 600); // Cache for 10 minutes
    }
}

🛠️ Advanced Configuration

For fine-grained control, publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=filament-cache-config

Then customize config/filament-cache.php:

return [
    'enabled' => true,
    
    // Cache duration (seconds)
    'ttl' => [
        'default' => 300,      // 5 minutes
        'queries' => 600,      // 10 minutes
        'navigation' => 1800,  // 30 minutes
        'widgets' => 300,      // 5 minutes
    ],
    
    // What to cache
    'cache' => [
        'pages' => true,       // Cache full pages
        'queries' => true,     // Cache database queries
        'navigation' => true,  // Cache navigation menu
        'widgets' => true,     // Cache dashboard widgets
        'forms' => true,       // Cache form options
    ],
    
    // Exclude specific routes from caching
    'exclude' => [
        'routes' => [
            'filament.admin.auth.*',
        ],
    ],
];

🔧 Usage Patterns

Resource Caching

use FilamentCache\Concerns\CachesResources;

class UserResource extends Resource
{
    use CachesResources;
    
    // Auto-cache with relationships
    protected static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder
    {
        return parent::getEloquentQuery()
            ->with(['profile', 'roles'])
            ->cached(ttl: 600, key: 'users_with_relations');
    }
    
    // Cache form schema
    public static function form(Form $form): Form
    {
        return $form->schema(
            static::cachedFormSchema('user_form', [
                TextInput::make('name'),
                Select::make('role_id')
                    ->cachedOptions('user_roles', fn() => 
                        Role::pluck('name', 'id')
                    ),
            ])
        );
    }
    
    // Cache table columns
    public static function table(Table $table): Table
    {
        return $table->columns(
            static::cachedTableColumns('user_table', [
                TextColumn::make('name'),
                TextColumn::make('posts_count')
                    ->cached(fn($record) => $record->posts()->count()),
            ])
        );
    }
}

Widget Performance Optimization

use FilamentCache\Concerns\CachesWidgets;

class AnalyticsWidget extends BaseWidget
{
    use CachesWidgets;
    
    protected static string $view = 'widgets.analytics';
    
    // Cache expensive analytics data
    protected function getViewData(): array
    {
        return $this->cacheWidgetData([
            'visitors' => $this->getCachedVisitors(),
            'revenue' => $this->getCachedRevenue(),
            'conversion' => $this->getCachedConversion(),
        ]);
    }
    
    private function getCachedVisitors(): int
    {
        return $this->remember('visitors_count', function () {
            return Analytics::visitors()
                ->whereBetween('date', [now()->subDays(30), now()])
                ->sum('count');
        }, ttl: 3600);
    }
    
    private function getCachedRevenue(): float
    {
        return $this->remember('revenue_total', function () {
            return Order::where('status', 'completed')
                ->whereBetween('created_at', [now()->subDays(30), now()])
                ->sum('total');
        }, ttl: 1800);
    }
}

Page Caching with Conditions

use FilamentCache\Concerns\CachesPages;

class CustomPage extends Page
{
    use CachesPages;
    
    // Conditional caching
    protected function shouldCache(): bool
    {
        return auth()->user()->cannot('bypass_cache') 
            && !request()->has('fresh');
    }
    
    // Dynamic cache keys
    protected function getCacheKey(): string
    {
        return sprintf(
            'page_%s_user_%d_locale_%s',
            static::class,
            auth()->id(),
            app()->getLocale()
        );
    }
    
    // Cache with user-specific data
    protected function getViewData(): array
    {
        return $this->cachePageData([
            'user_stats' => $this->getUserStats(),
            'recent_activity' => $this->getRecentActivity(),
        ]);
    }
}
