README
AWS Elasticache Session and Cache Drivers for Laravel (Memcached specifically)
Setup
This package requires the memcached extension for PHP. Please see this link for installation instructions.
With composer, simply add "atyagi/elasticache-laravel": "~2.1"
to your composer.json. (or "atyagi/elasticache-laravel": "~1.1"
for Laravel 4 installations)
Once composer update
is ran, add
'Atyagi\Elasticache\ElasticacheServiceProvider',
to the providers array in app/config.php
.
At this point, inside of app/session.php
and app/cache.php
, you can use elasticache
as a valid driver.
Versions
- 2.* represents all versions for Laravel 5
- 1.* represents all versions for Laravel 4
Configuration
All configuration lives within app/session.php
and app/cache.php
. The key ones are below:
session.php
- lifetime -- the session lifetime within the Memcached environment
- cookie -- this is the prefix for the session ID to prevent clashing
cache.php
Note: for Laravel 5, make sure to add this info to the stores array as follows:
'stores' => [ ... 'memcached' => [ 'driver' => 'memcached', 'servers' => [ [ 'host' => '<YOUR HOST>', 'port' => '<YOUR_PORT>', 'weight' => '<YOUR_WEIGHT>' ] ] ] ... ]
