Usage

This product is publicly available under the terms of the MIT license included in this repository. Please refer to the current brand guidelines for use of the existing brand.

Installation and Requirements

First, you'll need to require the package with Composer:

composer require unikent/tfilecache

Then, update config/app.php by adding an entry for the service provider.

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Unikent\Cache\TaggableFileCacheServiceProvider::class
];

Finally, add the necessary config to config\cache.php.

'default' => env('CACHE_DRIVER', 'tfile'),

'stores' => [

		'tfile' => [
			'driver' => 'tfile',
			'path'   => storage_path('framework/cache')
		],
		// ...
],

Optional Configuration

There are some optional config options available in the store definition above:

queue : accepts the string name of a queue to use for tag clean up, will use the default queue if omitted. separator : defines the separator character or sequence to be used internally, this should be chosen to never collide with a key value. defaults to ~#~ if omitted.

Tag Cleanup

To offset the work of cleaning up cache entries when a tag is flushed this task is added as a Job and queued using laravel's inbuilt queueing. Note: laravel's default queue driver is sync which will result in the job being executed synchronously, it is strongly advised you use an alternate queue driver with appropriate workers to offset this work if you wish to use this cache driver.
