What's the benefits, you ask? You don't have to worry about Redis/Memcached nodes! Intrigued? Keep on reading! Run the app via Docker ---------------------- [](#run-the-app-via-docker) Before building a Docker image, create `.env` file in `docker` directory with the following env variables: - `MOMENTO_API_KEY`=<YOUR\_API\_KEY> - `MOMENTO_CACHE_NAME`=<YOUR\_CACHE\_NAME> - `WEATHER_API_KEY` this is for weather API. Check out [OpenWeather](https://openweathermap.org/) to get an API key. If you don't have a Momento API key, you can generate one using the [Momento Console](https://console.gomomento.com). Build a Docker image for the app: ``` cd docker docker build --tag laravel-example . ``` **Note**: Building the `laravel-example` image involves compiling the PHP gRPC extension, which will take several minutes to complete. If you run into the API limits from GitHub, add a GitHub personal access token to your composer configuration: ``` export COMPOSER_AUTH= docker build --tag laravel-example --build-arg COMPOSER_AUTH=$COMPOSER_AUTH . ``` And run a Docker container with the image: ``` docker run -d --env-file .env -p 8000:8000 laravel-example ``` Manual PHP Setup ---------------- [](#manual-php-setup) You will need to install the following: - [PHP](https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.php) - [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) - [Laravel](https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/installation) - [gRPC for PHP](https://cloud.google.com/php/grpc) Add the repository and dependency to your project's `composer.json`: ``` { "require": { "momentohq/laravel-example": "0.2.3" } } ``` Add the Momento configuration to the 'stores' section of `config/cache.php`, adjusting the `cache_name` and `default_ttl` parameters as needed: ``` 'stores' => [ ... 'momento' => [ 'driver' => 'momento', 'cache_name' => 'my-momento-cache', 'default_ttl' => 60, ], ], ``` Update the cache driver entry in your `.env` file: `CACHE_DRIVER=momento` And add the following environment variables into your `.env` file: - `WEATHER_API_KEY` this is for weather API. Check out [OpenWeather](https://openweathermap.org/) to get an API key. - `MOMENTO_API_KEY` If you don't have a Momento API key, you can generate one using the [Momento Console](https://console.gomomento.com). Run `composer update` to install the necessary prerequisites. To run this application: ``` php artisan serve ``` cURL commands ------------- [](#curl-commands) ``` curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/weather/ Example: curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/weather/denver ``` or ``` curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/weather// Example: curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/weather/98101/us ``` or ``` curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/weather/id/ City id can be found here: http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/ Example: curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/weather/id/833 ``` Exploring the Momento Cache Integration --------------------------------------- [](#exploring-the-momento-cache-integration) Examples of different ways to use Momento's Laravel cache client and cache driver can be found in the [WeatherController.php](src/Controllers/WeatherController.php). For examples of using the Momento client directly, check out our PHP SDK [examples](https://github.com/momentohq/client-sdk-php/tree/main/examples)! A simple example usage of Momento's Laravel cache driver is extracted below: ``` $apiKey = env("WEATHER_API_KEY"); $url = "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q={$city}&appid={$apiKey}"; $result = Cache::get($city); if (!is_null($result)) { return $result; } else { $res = $this->httpClient->get($url); if ($res->getStatusCode() == 200) { $json = $res->getBody(); // 10 minutes TTLc Cache::put($city, $json, 600); return $json; } } ``` ### Health Score 27 — LowBetter than 47% of packages Maintenance29 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity10 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity51 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 68.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
