README

A lightweight and configurable Laravel package that provides Idempotency-Key support for APIs. It prevents duplicate requests by safely replaying previously stored responses.

Features

• 🚀 Laravel 13 Support
• 🔒 Prevent duplicate API requests
• ⚡ Cache & Database storage drivers
• 🔐 Request fingerprint validation
• 🔄 Response replay
• ⏳ Configurable TTL
• 🔒 Concurrency protection using cache locks
• 📢 Events
• 🛠 Artisan commands
• ✅ Pest test support

Requirements

• PHP 8.3+
• Laravel 13.x

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require alnoman141/laravel-idempotency

Publish Configuration

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="alnoman141\LaravelIdempotency\IdempotencyServiceProvider" --tag=idempotency-config

This publishes:

config/idempotency.php

Publish Migration

If you are using the database driver:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="alnoman141\LaravelIdempotency\IdempotencyServiceProvider" --tag=migrations

Run the migration:

php artisan migrate

Configuration

Example:

return [

    'driver' => env('IDEMPOTENCY_DRIVER', 'cache'),

    'header' => 'Idempotency-Key',

    'ttl' => 3600,

];

Available drivers:

• cache
• database

Usage

Protect any route using the middleware.

Route::post('/orders', function () {

    return response()->json([
        'success' => true,
    ]);

})->middleware('idempotency');

Or specify a custom TTL:

Route::post('/orders', function () {

    //

})->middleware('idempotency:600');

Client Example

Include an Idempotency-Key header with every request.

POST /api/orders

Idempotency-Key: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

The same request using the same key will replay the original response instead of executing the request again.

Artisan Commands

Clear stored idempotency records:

php artisan idempotency:clear

View statistics:

php artisan idempotency:stats

Remove expired records:

php artisan idempotency:prune

Events

The package dispatches the following events:

• IdempotencyStarted
• IdempotencyCompleted
• IdempotencyReplayed
• IdempotencyConflictDetected
• IdempotencyFailed

You can register your own listeners using Laravel's event system.

Testing

Run the test suite:

composer test

or

vendor/bin/pest

Best Practices

• Generate a unique UUID for every write request.
• Never reuse an idempotency key for different payloads.
• Use the database driver for distributed applications.
• Configure a reasonable TTL based on your business requirements.
