Blade Cache Directive

Cache chunks of your Blade markup with ease.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require ryangjchandler/blade-cache-directive

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="RyanChandler\BladeCacheDirective\BladeCacheDirectiveServiceProvider" --tag="blade-cache-directive-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [

    'enabled' => env('BLADE_CACHE_DIRECTIVE_ENABLED', true),

    'ttl' => env('BLADE_CACHE_DIRECTIVE_TTL', 3600),

];

Usage

This package adds a new @cache Blade directive. It accepts 2 arguments - the cache key and a TTL.

@cache('current_time', 30)
    {{ now() }}
@endcache

When used inside of a Blade template, the content between the 2 directives will be cached using Laravel’s application cache. If a TTL (in seconds) isn’t provided, the default TTL of 1 hour will be used instead.

If you want to cache the content for a particular model, i.e. a User model, you can use string interpolation to change the key.

@cache("user_profile_{$user->id}")
    {{ $user->name }}
@endcache

When a new user is passed to this view, a separate cache entry will be created.

Disabling caching

If you wish to disable caching when using the @cache directive (useful for local development and testing), you can set the BLADE_CACHE_DIRECTIVE_ENABLED environment variable to false.

Alternatively, publish the configuration file and modify the enabled entry accordingly.

Testing

composer test
