Laravel Cache Services

Seamlessly adding caching to Laravel Eloquent service objects.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require stevenmaguire/laravel-cache

Usage

Include the base service

Extend your service class with the EloquentCache class.

class UserRegistrar extends Stevenmaguire\Laravel\Services\EloquentCache
{
    //
}

Implement the interface and use the trait.

class UserRegistrar implements Stevenmaguire\Laravel\Contracts\Cacheable
{
    use \Stevenmaguire\Laravel\Services\EloquentCacheTrait;
}

Construct queries

Build queries using Eloquent and request cache object.

use App\User;
use Stevenmaguire\Laravel\Services\EloquentCache;

class UserRegistrar extends EloquentCache
{
    public function __construct(User $user)
    {
        $this->user = $user;
    }

    public function getAllUsers()
    {
        $query = $this->user->query();

        return $this->cache('all', $query);
    }

    public function getUserById($id)
    {
        $query = $this->user->where('id', $id);

        return $this->cache('id('.$id.')', $query, 'first');
    }

    public function getRecent($skip = 0, $take = 100)
    {
        $query = $this->user->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')
            ->take($take)
            ->skip($skip);

        return $this->cache('recent('.$skip.','.$take.')', $query);
    }
}

The cache method takes three parameters:

• The unique key associated with the method's intentions
• The query Builder object for the Eloquent query
• The optional verb, get, first, list, paginate etc; get by default

If the method associated with the optional verb takes parameters, like paginate, the parameters can be expressed as a comma separated list following the verb and a colon. If a parameter expects an array of literal values, these may be expressed as a pipe delimited sting.

/**
 * Paginate users with all pagination parameters
 */
public function getAllUsers()
{
    $query = $this->user->query();

    return $this->cache('all', $query, 'paginate:15,id|email|name,sheet,2');
    // $query->paginate(15, ['id', 'email', 'name'], 'sheet', 2);
}

The cache service will automatically index all of the unique keys used by your application. These keys will be used when the flushCache method is called on each service implementing the base cache service.

Configure caching

For each of the services you implement using the EloquentCache you can configure the following:

Duration of cache minutes

use Stevenmaguire\Laravel\Services\EloquentCache;

class UserRegistrar extends EloquentCache
{
    protected $cacheForMinutes = 15;

    //
}

Disable caching

use Stevenmaguire\Laravel\Services\EloquentCache;

class UserRegistrar extends EloquentCache
{
    protected $enableCaching = false;

    //
}

Disable logging

use Stevenmaguire\Laravel\Services\EloquentCache;

class UserRegistrar extends EloquentCache
{
    protected $enableLogging = false;

    //
}

Set a custom cache index for the keys

use Stevenmaguire\Laravel\Services\EloquentCache;

class UserRegistrar extends EloquentCache
{
    protected $cacheIndexKey = 'my-service-keys-index';

    //
}

Flushing cache

Each service object that implements caching via Stevenmaguire\Laravel\Services\EloquentCache can flush its own cache, independently of other consuming services.

Your application can flush the cache for all keys within the service object serviceKey group.

$userRegistrar->flushCache();

Your application can only flush the cache for keys within the service object serviceKey group that match a particular regular expression pattern.

// Flush cache for all cached users with a single digit user id
$userRegistrar->flushCache('^id\([0-9]{1}\)$');

Bind to IoC Container

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function register()
    {
        $this->app->when('App\Handlers\Events\UserHandler')
          ->needs('Stevenmaguire\Laravel\Contracts\Cacheable')
          ->give('App\Services\UserRegistrar');
    }
}

In this particular example, UserHandler is responsible for flushing the user service cache when a specific event occurs. The UserHandler takes a dependacy on the flushCache method within the UserRegistrar service.

Testing

$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit
