README

This package restores the ability to retrieve/flush items from the cache only using a single item tag. This is done by adding a new driver, taggable-redis, that adds the extended functionality. Laravel 10+ changed how cache logic works, removing the ability to retrieve an item using a single tag if it's tagged with more than one tag. E.g.:

Cache::tags(["tag1", "tag2"])->put("key", true);
$result = Cache::tags(["tag1"])->get("key") //Will result in the default value (null)
$result = Cache::tags(["tag1", "tag2"])->get("key") //Will result in true
$result = Cache::tags(["tag2", "tag1"])->get("key") //Will result in the default value (null)

This restores the ability to retrieve items only using a single tag, and without caring for the tag order. E.g:

Cache::tags(["tag1", "tag2"])->put("key", true);
$result = Cache::tags(["tag1"])->get("key") //Will result in true
$result = Cache::tags(["tag2", "tag1"])->get("key") //Will result in true
$result = Cache::tags(["tag2"])->get("key") //Will result in true

Using Cache::forever() will now store items for 100 days, not forever, to allow the values to be memory managed, instead of tags.

Installation:

The package can be installed using:

composer require byerikas/classic-taggable-cache

To use the new driver - edit your config/cache.php and under stores.YOUR_STORE.driver set the value to taggable-redis, and run php artisan optimize.
