Optimize your Laravel application's performance with soft caching for policy checks. This package caches policy invocations to prevent redundant checks within the same request lifecycle, enhancing your application's response times.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This package is compatible with `Laravel 9, 10, 11, 12, 13`, and PHP >= 8.1.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require innoge/laravel-policy-soft-cache
```

You can publish the config file with:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Innoge\LaravelPolicySoftCache\LaravelPolicySoftCacheServiceProvider"
```

This is the contents of the published config file:

```
return [
    /*
     * When enabled, the package will cache the results of all Policies in your Laravel application
     */
    'cache_all_policies' => env('CACHE_ALL_POLICIES', true),
];
```

You can also use `CACHE_ALL_POLICIES` in your `.env` file to change it.

```
CACHE_ALL_POLICIES=false

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

By default, this package caches all policy calls of your entire application. You can disable this behavior by setting the `cache_all_policies`configuration to false. Now you can specify which Policy classes should be soft cached and which not. If you want your policy to be cached, add the `Innoge\LaravelPolicySoftCache\Contracts\SoftCacheable` interface.

For Example:

```
use Innoge\LaravelPolicySoftCache\Contracts\SoftCacheable;

class UserPolicy implements SoftCacheable
{
    ...
}

```

Clearing the cache
------------------

[](#clearing-the-cache)

Sometimes you want to clear the policy cache after model changes. You can call the `Innoge\LaravelPolicySoftCache::flushCache();` method.

Known Issues
------------

[](#known-issues)

### Gate::before and Service Provider Load Order

[](#gatebefore-and-service-provider-load-order)

When the `innoge/laravel-policy-soft-cache` package is installed in an application that utilizes `Gate::before`, typically defined in the `AuthServiceProvider`, a conflict may arise due to the order in which service providers are loaded.

#### Resolution Steps

[](#resolution-steps)

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. **Manual Service Provider Registration**: Add `\Innoge\LaravelPolicySoftCache\LaravelPolicySoftCacheServiceProvider::class` to the end of the `providers` array in your `config/app.php`. This manual registration ensures that the `LaravelPolicySoftCacheServiceProvider` loads after all other service providers, including `AuthServiceProvider`.

    ```
    'providers' => [
        // Other Service Providers

        \Innoge\LaravelPolicySoftCache\LaravelPolicySoftCacheServiceProvider::class,
    ],
    ```
2. **Disable Auto-Discovery for the Package**: To prevent Laravel's auto-discovery mechanism from automatically loading the service provider, add `innoge/laravel-policy-soft-cache` to the `dont-discover` array in your `composer.json`. This step is crucial for maintaining the manual load order.

    ```
    "extra": {
        "laravel": {
            "dont-discover": ["innoge/laravel-policy-soft-cache"]
        }
    },
    ```
3. **Reinstall Dependencies**: After updating your `composer.json`, run `composer install` to apply the changes. This step is necessary for the changes to take effect.

    ```
    composer install
    ```
