[Proposal] Caching/saving timeline

[Jaspur]

Hi, it takes a while now every time, because it has to check the Twitter server

Hi.
It's a good idea.
Have you an idea how to implement this ?

[Jaspur]

Something like this:

$timeline = Twitter::getUserTimeline(array('screen_name' => 'jas_pur', 'count' => 3));
    if (Cache::has('twitter'))
        return Cache::get('twitter');
    else
        Cache::add('twitter', $timeline, 180);

But if there are some tweets posted the cache won't return these...

See the documentation part of Cache in laravel. You can flush them, or keep the cache alive for some minutes.

I will think of this for a next release.

For the moment you can do it in your controller.
Maybe more like this :

if (!Cache::has('twitter')){
    $timeline = Twitter::getUserTimeline(array('screen_name' => 'jas_pur', 'count' => 3));
    Cache::add('twitter', $timeline, 180);
}
return Cache::get('twitter');
