✨ Why Choose This Plugin?
🔥 Blazing Fast ⚡ Zero Configuration 🎯 Smart Caching |
🛡️ Cache Invalidation 📊 Performance Monitoring 🔧 Highly Configurable |
📊 Cache Management
Monitor and control your cache with built-in tools:
Commands:
# Check cache status php artisan filament-cache:status # Clear all caches php artisan filament-cache:clear # Monitor performance in real-time php artisan filament-cache:monitor # Generate performance report php artisan filament-cache:report --export
Performance Monitoring:
// Get real-time metrics FilamentCache::getMetrics(); // Returns: hit rate, response times, cache size, etc.
🎯 Real-World Example
Here's how easy it is to cache everything in your Filament resources:
// Before: Slow resource with heavy queries class OrderResource extends Resource { protected static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder { return parent::getEloquentQuery() ->with(['customer', 'items.product', 'payments']) ->withCount(['items', 'payments']) ->withSum('payments', 'amount'); } public static function table(Table $table): Table { return $table->columns([ TextColumn::make('total_revenue') ->getStateUsing(fn($record) => $record->calculateComplexRevenue() // Heavy calculation ), ]); } } // After: Lightning fast with zero config class OrderResource extends Resource { use CachesEverything; // 🚀 Add this trait protected static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder { return parent::getEloquentQuery() ->with(['customer', 'items.product', 'payments']) ->withCount(['items', 'payments']) ->withSum('payments', 'amount') ->cached(600); // ⚡ Cache for 10 minutes } public static function table(Table $table): Table { return $table->columns([ TextColumn::make('total_revenue') ->cached(fn($record) => $record->calculateComplexRevenue() // Now cached! ), ]); } }
Result: Page loads 10x faster with zero database queries on subsequent requests!

Add to your Panel Provider (app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php
):
<?php namespace App\Providers\Filament; use Filament\Panel; use Filament\PanelProvider; use FilamentCache\FilamentCachePlugin; class AdminPanelProvider extends PanelProvider { public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel { return $panel ->default() ->id('admin') ->path('admin') ->plugins([ // Add the cache plugin FilamentCachePlugin::make(), ]); } }
Step 5: Clear Cache & Test
# Clear existing caches php artisan cache:clear php artisan config:clear # Test your Filament admin panel # Pages should now load much faster! 🚀
That's it! 🎉 Your Filament app is now supercharged with intelligent caching.
🚀 How to Use
The plugin works automatically out of the box, but here are ways to maximize its power:
🔥 Zero Configuration Usage
The plugin automatically caches:
- ✅ Page responses - Entire admin pages
- ✅ Database queries - All Eloquent queries
- ✅ Navigation menus - Admin navigation
- ✅ Form options - Select dropdowns
- ✅ Widget data - Dashboard widgets
No code changes needed! Just install and enjoy 10x faster performance.
⚡ Enhanced Usage with Traits
For maximum performance, add caching traits to your resources:
Cache Everything in Resources
<?php namespace App\Filament\Resources; use Filament\Resources\Resource; use FilamentCache\Concerns\CachesEverything; class UserResource extends Resource { use CachesEverything; // 🚀 Add this line // Your existing code stays the same! // Everything is now automatically cached }
Cache Expensive Queries
// Before: Slow query protected static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder { return parent::getEloquentQuery() ->with(['roles', 'profile', 'orders']); } // After: Cached query (10x faster!) protected static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder { return parent::getEloquentQuery() ->with(['roles', 'profile', 'orders']) ->cached(300); // Cache for 5 minutes }
Cache Form Options
// Before: Database hit on every page load Select::make('category_id') ->options(Category::pluck('name', 'id')) // After: Cached options (instant loading!) Select::make('category_id') ->cachedOptions('categories', fn() => Category::pluck('name', 'id') )
Cache Table Calculations
// Before: Expensive calculation on every row TextColumn::make('total_orders') ->getStateUsing(fn($record) => $record->orders()->count()) // After: Cached calculation (instant display!) TextColumn::make('total_orders') ->cached(fn($record) => $record->orders()->count())
Cache Widget Data
<?php namespace App\Filament\Widgets; use Filament\Widgets\StatsOverviewWidget; use FilamentCache\Concerns\CachesWidgets; class StatsWidget extends StatsOverviewWidget { use CachesWidgets; // 🚀 Add this line protected function getStats(): array { // Cache expensive statistics return $this->cacheData([ 'total_users' => User::count(), 'total_orders' => Order::count(), 'revenue' => Order::sum('total'), ], ttl: 600); // Cache for 10 minutes } }
🛠️ Advanced Configuration
For fine-grained control, publish the config file:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=filament-cache-config
Then customize config/filament-cache.php
:
return [ 'enabled' => true, // Cache duration (seconds) 'ttl' => [ 'default' => 300, // 5 minutes 'queries' => 600, // 10 minutes 'navigation' => 1800, // 30 minutes 'widgets' => 300, // 5 minutes ], // What to cache 'cache' => [ 'pages' => true, // Cache full pages 'queries' => true, // Cache database queries 'navigation' => true, // Cache navigation menu 'widgets' => true, // Cache dashboard widgets 'forms' => true, // Cache form options ], // Exclude specific routes from caching 'exclude' => [ 'routes' => [ 'filament.admin.auth.*', ], ], ];
📊 Monitor Performance
Use built-in commands to monitor your cache:
# Check cache status php artisan filament-cache:status # Clear cache when needed php artisan filament-cache:clear # Monitor performance in real-time php artisan filament-cache:monitor
🎯 Plugin Configuration Options
Configure the plugin for your specific needs:
FilamentCachePlugin::make() // Basic Settings ->defaultTtl(600) // 10 minutes default ->enablePerformanceMonitoring() // Track performance // Enable/Disable Features ->cachePages() // Cache full pages ->cacheQueries() // Cache DB queries ->cacheNavigation() // Cache navigation ->cacheWidgets() // Cache widgets ->cacheForms() // Cache form options // Advanced Settings ->useStore('redis') // Use Redis store ->enableTaggedCaching() // Smart invalidation ->excludeRoutes(['admin.settings']) // Skip specific routes ->maxCacheSize('100MB') // Limit cache size
🔧 Real-World Examples

🔧 Usage Patterns
Resource Caching
use FilamentCache\Concerns\CachesResources; class UserResource extends Resource { use CachesResources; // Auto-cache with relationships protected static function getEloquentQuery(): Builder { return parent::getEloquentQuery() ->with(['profile', 'roles']) ->cached(ttl: 600, key: 'users_with_relations'); } // Cache form schema public static function form(Form $form): Form { return $form->schema( static::cachedFormSchema('user_form', [ TextInput::make('name'), Select::make('role_id') ->cachedOptions('user_roles', fn() => Role::pluck('name', 'id') ), ]) ); } // Cache table columns public static function table(Table $table): Table { return $table->columns( static::cachedTableColumns('user_table', [ TextColumn::make('name'), TextColumn::make('posts_count') ->cached(fn($record) => $record->posts()->count()), ]) ); } }
Widget Performance Optimization
use FilamentCache\Concerns\CachesWidgets; class AnalyticsWidget extends BaseWidget { use CachesWidgets; protected static string $view = 'widgets.analytics'; // Cache expensive analytics data protected function getViewData(): array { return $this->cacheWidgetData([ 'visitors' => $this->getCachedVisitors(), 'revenue' => $this->getCachedRevenue(), 'conversion' => $this->getCachedConversion(), ]); } private function getCachedVisitors(): int { return $this->remember('visitors_count', function () { return Analytics::visitors() ->whereBetween('date', [now()->subDays(30), now()]) ->sum('count'); }, ttl: 3600); } private function getCachedRevenue(): float { return $this->remember('revenue_total', function () { return Order::where('status', 'completed') ->whereBetween('created_at', [now()->subDays(30), now()]) ->sum('total'); }, ttl: 1800); } }
Page Caching with Conditions
use FilamentCache\Concerns\CachesPages; class CustomPage extends Page { use CachesPages; // Conditional caching protected function shouldCache(): bool { return auth()->user()->cannot('bypass_cache') && !request()->has('fresh'); } // Dynamic cache keys protected function getCacheKey(): string { return sprintf( 'page_%s_user_%d_locale_%s', static::class, auth()->id(), app()->getLocale() ); } // Cache with user-specific data protected function getViewData(): array { return $this->cachePageData([ 'user_stats' => $this->getUserStats(), 'recent_activity' => $this->getRecentActivity(), ]); } }
🎯 Advanced Features
Tagged Caching for Smart Invalidation
// Automatically tag caches by model User::cached(['users', 'profile'])->get(); // Clear all user-related caches when user updates // Automatically handled by the plugin!
Performance Monitoring
// View cache performance in real-time FilamentCache::getMetrics(); // Returns: [ 'hit_rate' => 94.5, 'miss_rate' => 5.5, 'total_requests' => 1250, 'cache_hits' => 1181, 'cache_misses' => 69, 'average_response_time' => 0.23, 'cache_size' => '45.2MB', 'top_cached_queries' => [...], ]
Cache Warming
