### Why is this useful?

[](#why-is-this-useful)

The RedisStore that comes with the Laravel Cache does not compress string values out of the box. The RedisStore in this package does. Caching string values can save a ton of memory and/or network bandwidth depending on cached item size and request frequency.

### How do I use it?

[](#how-do-i-use-it)

Install the package...

```
composer require ehann/laravel-redis-store
```

Add a [custom cache driver](https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/cache#adding-custom-cache-drivers), like this...

```
public function boot()
{
    Cache::extend('ehann-redis', function ($app) {
        return Cache::repository(new \Ehann\Cache\RedisStore(
            $app['redis'],
            $app['config']['cache.prefix'],
            $app['config']['cache.stores.redis.connection']
        ));
    });
}
```

Add the **ehann-redis** custom driver to the redis store config in config/cache.php...

```
'stores' => [
    'redis' => [
        'driver' => 'ehann-redis',
    ],
],
```
