Laravel-API-Cache
=================

[](#laravel-api-cache)

A helper for caching complete API Responses. Easily cache the complete response of you Laravel API.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require berthott/laravel-api-cache
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

- The package automatically caches all responses to GET requests when installed and enabled.
    - The package assumes, that your routes are named according to Laravels Route::apiResource helper (`tablename.method`).
    - Responses are grouped via the table name (more specifically the first part of the route name, so custom route names are supported too).
- To automatically flush the cache corresponding to your model add the `FlushesApiCache` Trait to your model.
    - This will flush the cache for any model creation, update or deletion.
    - To also flush dependent models override the Traits `cacheDependencies` method and return a list of related route names.
- A `FlushApiCache` event listener is available to be connected with custom model events.

Options
-------

[](#options)

To change the default options use

```
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="berthott\ApiCache\ApiCacheServiceProvider" --tag="config"
```

- `enabled`: Enable the API caching. Default to `env('CACHE_API', false)`.
- `ignoreRoutes`: An array of route names to be ignored from the cache. Defaults to `[]`.
- `lifetime`: The lifetime of the cache in days. Defaults to `14`.
- `key`: A key to add to each redis cache to be able to use a single redis server and avoid name clashes. Defaults to`env('CACHE_API_KEY', env('APP_NAME', 'laravel'))`.

Architecture
------------

[](#architecture)

- The actual caching is done in `ApiCacheService`
- A store-key is used to connect requests / cached responses to a specific model / entity
- An `ApiCacheMiddleware` intercepts all http requests and calls `ApiCacheService`
- The `FlushesApiCache` trait observes creating / updating / deleting models and will clear the cache for the corresponding store

Compatibility
-------------

[](#compatibility)

Tested with Laravel 10.x.
