Laravel lock extension
----------------------

[](#laravel-lock-extension)

This package provides additional locking features on top of the default cache locking mechanism. It also provided alternate drivers to use in stead of the default cache lock.

### Cache lock

[](#cache-lock)

By default this package uses the default Cache lock functionality as provided in Laravel.

### File lock

[](#file-lock)

This package offers locking through the filesystem using flock. By default it places lock files in the storage/app/lock folder, though this can be changed in the config file.

### MySQL lock

[](#mysql-lock)

This package also offers locks using MySQL's GET\_LOCK() implementation. By default it uses the default connection, but the connection can be changed in the config file.

**NOTICE:** MySQL <5.7 does not allow holding multiple locks on one connection! To circumvent this, the driver sets up a new connection with the same credentials for each new lock.
