Safe distributed locking helpers for Laravel: with(), owner-aware cache locks, HTTP middleware, and queue WithoutOverlapping.

Installation

composer require mohamedhekal/lockguard
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=lockguard-config

Quick start

use Hekal\LockGuard\Facades\LockGuard;

LockGuard::with('inventory:sku-1', function () {
    // exclusive critical section
});

HTTP:

Route::middleware('lockguard:checkout:session,15')->post('/checkout', ...);

Queue:

public function middleware(): array
{
    return [new \Hekal\LockGuard\Support\WithoutOverlapping('sync:tenant-1')];
}

Notes

• Uses Laravel cache locks. Prefer Redis in production.
• default_wait_seconds=0 means fail fast (throw) when the lock is busy.
• This is not Redlock multi-node consensus; it is a practical Laravel lock layer.

Testing

composer install && composer test
