Laravel Smart Cache
===================

[](#laravel-smart-cache)

**Automatic cache invalidation for Laravel — clear cache when models change, no manual work.**

[![Latest Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/0cf80cbb1bab67cafaadec2420a6ff3f0aec97eb79e8520db754eba98953b719/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f7061636b61676973742f762f79617265642f6c61726176656c2d736d6172742d63616368652e737667)](https://packagist.org/packages/yared/laravel-smart-cache)[![License](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b5e874f03267d36707f95c4b5223f63f0b9eb3a6f9ec86b709cfbe23f674b954/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f7061636b61676973742f6c2f79617265642f6c61726176656c2d736d6172742d63616368652e737667)](https://packagist.org/packages/yared/laravel-smart-cache)

The Problem
-----------

[](#the-problem)

In Laravel, developers write cache like this:

```
Cache::remember('products', 3600, function () {
    return Product::all();
});
```

But when a product changes:

```
Product::create([...]);
Product::update([...]);
Product::delete();
```

The cache still contains old data. Developers must manually clear it:

```
Cache::forget('products');
```

This becomes messy and error-prone.

The Solution
------------

[](#the-solution)

Smart Cache automatically clears cache when related models change.

```
use SmartCache;

// Register the dependency
SmartCache::watch(Product::class, 'products');

// Use it
SmartCache::remember('products', function () {
    return Product::all();
});
```

Now when `Product::create()`, `Product::update()`, or `Product::delete()` runs, the cache is **automatically cleared**. No manual work.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require yared/laravel-smart-cache
```

Publish config (optional):

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=smart-cache-config
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

### 1. Register model → cache mapping

[](#1-register-model--cache-mapping)

```
use SmartCache;

SmartCache::watch(Product::class, 'products');
```

Or watch multiple keys:

```
SmartCache::watch(Product::class, ['products', 'homepage_products']);
```

### 2. Use SmartCache instead of Cache

[](#2-use-smartcache-instead-of-cache)

```
$products = SmartCache::remember('products', function () {
    return Product::all();
});
```

That's it. When any `Product` is created, updated, deleted, or restored, the `products` cache is automatically invalidated.

Core Features
-------------

[](#core-features)

### Automatic Model Watching

[](#automatic-model-watching)

The package listens to Laravel model events:

- `created`
- `updated`
- `deleted`
- `restored`

### Cache Dependency Mapping

[](#cache-dependency-mapping)

Map one model to multiple cache keys:

```
SmartCache::watch(Product::class, [
    'products',
    'homepage_products',
    'featured_products',
]);
```

### Cache Tag Support (Redis / Memcached)

[](#cache-tag-support-redis--memcached)

For tagged caches:

```
SmartCache::tags(['products'])
    ->watch(Product::class)
    ->remember('list', fn () => Product::all());
```

When a product changes, the entire `products` tag is flushed.

### Smart Query Hash Cache

[](#smart-query-hash-cache)

Automatically generate cache key from query:

```
$products = SmartCache::query(
    Product::where('category_id', 1)->where('price', '>', 100)
);
```

The cache key is generated from the query hash. When any `Product` changes, related query caches are invalidated.

### CacheableModel Trait

[](#cacheablemodel-trait)

Define cache keys directly on your model:

```
use Yared\SmartCache\Traits\CacheableModel;

class Product extends Model
{
    use CacheableModel;

    public static function cacheKeys(): array
    {
        return ['products', 'homepage_products'];
    }
}
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Publish the config file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=smart-cache-config
```

### Config-based mappings

[](#config-based-mappings)

Define mappings in `config/smart-cache.php`:

```
'mappings' => [
    'App\Models\Product' => ['products', 'homepage_products'],
    'App\Models\Category' => ['categories', 'menu_categories'],
],
```

### Debug mode

[](#debug-mode)

Enable to log cache hits, misses, and invalidations:

```
SMART_CACHE_DEBUG=true
```

### Dashboard

[](#dashboard)

Enable the cache monitoring dashboard:

```
SMART_CACHE_DASHBOARD=true
```

Then visit `/cache-monitor` to see:

- Cache hits / misses / hit rate
- Invalidations
- Model → cache mappings

Advanced Usage
--------------

[](#advanced-usage)

### Custom TTL

[](#custom-ttl)

```
SmartCache::remember('products', fn () => Product::all(), 7200); // 2 hours
```

### Manual invalidation

[](#manual-invalidation)

```
SmartCache::forget('products');
```

### Invalidate by model (programmatic)

[](#invalidate-by-model-programmatic)

```
SmartCache::invalidateForModel(Product::class, 'Manual refresh');
```
