README

Easily maintain a "forever" cache of your models.

Disclaimer: This trait is best used on models which you rarely create, update or delete.

Installation

1.) Install via composer

composer require cklmercer/laravel-model-stash

Usage

1.) Use the trait Cklmercer\ModelStash\CacheForever within your model.

// Role.php

use Cklmercer\ModelStash\CacheForever;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Role extends Models 
{
    use CacheForever;
     
    // truncated for brevity..
}

Now, whenever you create/update/delete/restore an instance of your model your cache will automatically be updated.

2.) Get an index of your cached models.

Note: The default cache name will be the plural form of your model's class name.

$roles = \Cache::get('roles')

You can change your model's cache name by defining a $cacheName property on your model.

// Role.php

use Cklmercer\ModelStash\CacheForever;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Role extends Model
{
    use CacheForever;

    /**
     * The model's cache name.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $cacheName = 'cachedRoles';

    // truncated for brevity..
}

$roles = \Cache::get('cachedRoles');

3.) Get a specific instance of a cached model.

Note: The convention used to get a specific instance is "cache-name:cache-key", with cache-key defaulting to your model's route key.

$role = \Cache::get('roles:1')

You can change your model's cache key by defining a $cacheKey property on your model.

// Role.php

use Cklmercer\LaravelModelStash\CacheForever;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Role extends Model
{
    use CacheForever;

    /**
     * The model's cache key.
     *
     * @var string
     */
     protected $cacheKey = 'slug';

     // truncated for brevity..
}

$role = \Cache::get('roles:admin')
