Laravel comes "out of the box" with the [increment](http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/queries#updates)/[decrement](http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/queries#updates) methods on it's [Eloquent](http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/eloquent) models. But you'll need to manually execute these methods everytime, you've saved/delete stuff with your model. Since the [increment](http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/queries#updates)/[decrement](http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/queries#updates) methods always +1/-1, you can't 100% rely on these as cached value. What if you forgot to execute the decrement method when you deleted a row. Or what if someone deleted a row directly from the database, then your count would be "out of sync". Therefore we've created this package which brings "counter caching" to [Laravel](http://laravel.com/docs). The difference between this package and Laravel's [increment](http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/queries#updates)/[decrement](http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/queries#updates) is that our package actually generates and fires a SQL count statement, that counts the entries and updates the desired column with the result. This way you're always 100% sure that the value in your "counter cache" column is correct. 📦 Installation -------------- [](#-installation) To install this package you will need: - Laravel 5.1+ - PHP 5.5.9+ You must then modify your `composer.json` file and run `composer update` to include the latest version of the package in your project. ``` "require": { "nodes/counter-cache": "^1.0" } ``` Or you can run the composer require command from your terminal. ``` composer require nodes/counter-cache:^1.0 ``` ⚙ Usage ------- [](#-usage) Please refer to the [Wiki documentation](https://github.com/nodes-php/counter-cache/wiki) for more information. 🏆 Credits --------- [](#-credits) This package is developed and maintained by the PHP team at [Nodes Agency](http://nodesagency.com) [![Follow Nodes PHP on Twitter](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/a898a5b14227bafa0c17c43be4f67460fe2b1dc3b88627d7b959e7fae4256a45/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f747769747465722f666f6c6c6f772f6e6f6465737068702e7376673f7374796c653d736f6369616c)](https://twitter.com/nodesphp) [![Tweet Nodes PHP](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/8c1a307180498b3bb360cf73e63da1bfa3afc0306f601be021acd1e85d2bb4e4/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f747769747465722f75726c2f687474702f6e6f6465737068702e7376673f7374796c653d736f6369616c)](https://twitter.com/nodesphp) 📄 License --------- [](#-license) This package is open-sourced software licensed under the [MIT license](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) ### Health Score 37 — LowBetter than 83% of packages Maintenance13 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity30 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity72 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
