This is a Laravel 4 package that provides caching for the response of the application.

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

[](#installation)

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's `composer.json` file to require `titzu/cache`.

```
"require": {
        "laravel/framework": "4.0.*",
        "titzu/cache": "dev-master"
},
"require-dev": {
        "phpunit/phpunit": "3.7.*",
        "mockery/mockery": "dev-master@dev"
},
"minimum-stability" : "dev"

```

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

```
composer update

```

Once this operation completes, the final step is to add the service provider. Open `app/config/app.php`, and add a new item to the providers array.

```
'Titzu\RouterCache\RouterCacheServiceProvider'

```

That's all!

### Usage

[](#usage)

Register route for caching
--------------------------

[](#register-route-for-caching)

You must register the filter with the route

```
Route::get('/', array('before' => 'cache_get', 'after' => 'cache_set', 'uses' => 'HomeController@show'));
```

Of course you can also register a group of routes

```
Route::group(array('before' => 'cache_get', 'after' => 'cache_set'), function()
{
    Route::get('/', 'HomeController@show');
    Route::get('another', 'AnotherController@show');
});
```

Clear Routes Cache
------------------

[](#clear-routes-cache)

```
php artisan router:clear

```

By default Laravel uses file cache driver for cache storage. Because cache sections are not supported when using the file or database cache drivers and in order not to flush all cache when we need to refresh just the routes cache I keep cached routes in a separate cache entry 'cached\_routes'. The router:clear command will then only operate on the keys registered in cached\_routes array.

Note
----

[](#note)

In order to verify that the request is served from the cache or on the fly, I added a new header entry

```
$response->header('Served-From', 'cache');
```

and

```
$response->header('Served-From', 'laravel');
```

You can then find this using entry developer tools ( firebug for example ).
