Clear cache will clear everything out about laravel-visits HOT 10 CLOSED

I think we should give the user the ability to set a different redis connection in laravel-visits config.

'redis' => [

    ....

    //custom connection
    'laravel-visits' => [
        'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', 'localhost'),
        'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
        'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
        'database' => 1, // anything from 1 to 15, except 0 (or what is set in default)
    ],

    ....

],

and in laravel-visits config

'redis_connection' => null, // can be set to a custom connection, or `null` for default

@summerblue awesome, Thanks ! .. I have made a few more changes.. check the latest commits ..

can you please try the updated version ?

from laravel-visits.

@adriaanzon good catch. but still for me I think the documentation should stay as a warning because default Redis database still get flushed sometimes. and we should introduce a change like:

- database => 3,
+ database => env('REDIS_DB', 3),

I'm sorry but this not possible we are using redis and artisan cache:clear doesn't clear your redis storage

@if4lcon Sorry, there is something I missed, u have to set your default cache driver to redis at the config/cache.php file.

I wonder if it should still be documented this way at https://awssat.com/opensource/laravel-visits/3_installation.html#redis-configuration, because this PR introduced a separate Redis database to store cache items by default.
