This package provides a Blade directive for Laravel >=6.0 to cache rendered partials in Laravel.

You can install the package via Composer:

$ composer require pixxet/laravel-partialcache

In Laravel 6.0 the package's service provider and facade will be registered automatically. In older versions of Laravel, you must register them manually:

// config/app.php

'providers' => [
  ...
  Pixxet\PartialCache\PartialCacheServiceProvider::class,
],

'aliases' => [
  ...
  'PartialCache' => Pixxet\PartialCache\PartialCacheFacade::class,
],

The facade is optional, but the rest of this guide assumes you're using it.

Optionally publish the config files:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Pixxet\PartialCache\PartialCacheServiceProvider"

The package registers a blade directive, @cache. The cache directive accepts the same arguments as @include, plus optional parameters for the amount of minutes a view should be cached for, a key unique to the rendered view, and a cache tag for the rendered view. If no minutes are provided, the view will be remembered until you manually remove it from the cache.

Note that this caches the rendered html, not the rendered php like blade's default view caching.

{{-- Simple example --}}
@cache('footer.section.partial')

{{-- With extra view data --}}
@cache('products.card', ['product' => $category->products->first()])

{{-- With an added key (cache entry will be partialcache.user.profile.{$user->id}) --}}
@cache('user.profile', null, $user->id)

{{-- For a certain time --}}
{{-- (cache will invalidate in 60 minutes in this example, set null to remember forever) --}}
@cache('homepage.news', null, null, 60)

{{-- If template exists --}}
{{-- Just like the usual includeIf directive add "If" to the cache (or your custom directive) to cache partial only if the template exists --}}
@cacheIf('footer.section.partial')

{{-- When boolean true --}}
{{-- Just like the usual includeWhen directive add "When" to the cache (or your custom directive) to cache partial depending on a given boolean condition --}}
@cacheWhen($isPrintable !== true, 'footer.section.partial')

You can forget a partial cache entry with PartialCache::forget($view, $key).

PartialCache::forget('user.profile', $user->id);

If you want to flush all entries, you'll need to clear your entire cache.

Configuration isn't necessary, but there are three options specified in the config file:

• partialcache.enabled: Fully enable or disable the cache. Defaults to true.
• partialcache.directive: The name of the blade directive to register. Defaults to cache.
• partialcache.key: The base key that used for cache entries. Defaults to partialcache.
• partialcache.default_duration: The default cache duration in minutes, set null to remember forever. Defaults to null.
