Query Cache

This functionality allows you to cache all read queries or only just the duplicated ones for a model.

Usage

Your models should use the Varbox\Traits\IsCacheable trait.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Varbox\Traits\IsCacheable;

class YourModel extends Model
{
    use IsCacheable;
}

Next, if you've installed Varbox correctly, you should already see the following in your .env file. If not, please add them.

CACHE_ALL_QUERIES=false
CACHE_DUPLICATE_QUERIES=false

Cache All Queries

It's possible to cache all read queries for a model. The queries will be cached using cache tagging.

When creating, updating or deleting a record for a model, all queries for that entire model will be flushed from cache.

In your .env file change CACHE_DRIVER to a value that's persistent and also supports tagging.

CACHE_DRIVER=redis

In your .env file change the CACHE_ALL_QUERIES environment variable to true.

CACHE_ALL_QUERIES=true

Cache Duplicate Queries

If you don't want to cache all queries for your models forever, you can opt in for caching only duplicate queries. The queries will be cached only for the current request using cache tagging.

If you already cache all your queries, it's redundant to enable the duplicate query cache.

In your .env file change CACHE_DRIVER to a value that supports tagging.

CACHE_DRIVER=array

In your .env file change the CACHE_DUPLICATE_QUERIES environment variable to true.

CACHE_DUPLICATE_QUERIES=true

Disable Temporarily

In some edge cases you may want to temporarily disable the query caching functionality for good.
You can do this using the disableQueryCache() method.

app(YourModel::class)->disableQueryCache();

// or for an existing model instance

$model = YourModel::find($id);
$model->disableQueryCache();

You can also enable it back further down the road in the same request by using the enableQueryCache() method.

app(YourModel::class)->enableQueryCache();

// or for an existing model instance

$model = YourModel::find($id);
$model->enableQueryCache();

Configuration

The query cache configuration file is located at config/varbox/query-cache.php.

For more information on how you can customize the query caching functionality, please read the comments from that file.
