README

Our innovative "CallForwarding" package optimizes database performance during high-traffic scenarios by intelligently queuing up database writes on eloquent models. By consolidating these writes into a single operation, it alleviates strain on database resources, ensuring smooth operations even during peak times. With ForwardSync, your system gains efficiency and resilience, allowing you to focus on delivering exceptional user experiences without worrying about database constraints.

Installation

Download to your project directory, add README.md, and commit:

composer require rob-lester-jr04/call-forwarding

Usage

For each model you want to implement call forwarding on, include both the trait and the interface.

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Lester\Forwarding\ReceivesCalls;
use Lester\Forwarding\ShouldForward;

class PageVisit extends Model implements ShouldForward
{
	
	use ReceivesCalls;
	
}

Then, to make an update or an insert, call callForwarding() before your persist method. Example:

$visit = new PageVisit;
$visit->hits = 15;

$visit-> forwarded()->save(); // This will return false. That is expected.

Now by default, every minute, anything that has been queued this way will get persisted.

Advanced Configuration

Changing the driver

The package is built in with 3 drivers for the queue. The default is file, but it also includes redis and memcached.

Your choices out of the box are File or Redis. To use the Redis option, add this to your .env file:

CF_DRIVER=redis

Write Callbacks

If you have code you'd like to execute after the write has occured, you can chain the afterForward method with a closure as the parameter. Example.

$model = new PageVisit;

$visit->afterForward(function($attrs) {
	// Do something else with the attributes.
})->forwarded()->save();

Publishing the config file.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Lester\Forwarding\CallForwardingServiceProvider"

Custom Driver

Too generate your own driver, create a class that implements the CallForwardingDriver interface with the following methods: putItem, getAllItems

'handler' => 'my-custom-handler',

'handlers' => [
	// ...
	'my-custom-handler' => \App\My\Handler::class,
],

<?php

namespace App\Handlers; // or whatever namespace you want to use

use Lester\Forwarding\Contracts\CallForwardingDriver;
use Illuminate\Support\Collection;

class MyHandler implements CallForwardingDriver
{
	// Worth noting, $key is only ever 'update' or 'insert'
	public function putItem($key, $data): void
	{
		// Store the db write.
	}
	
	public function getAllItems($key, $purge = false): Collection
	{
		// Retrieve the collection of stored db writes
		
		// Purge each item if the $purge flag is true.
	}
}
