Installation and Requirements
-----------------------------

[](#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' => [
    // ...
    haddowg\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
----------------------

[](#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](#tag-cleanup), 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
-----------

[](#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](https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/queues). 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.
