This is a sample Laravel app to demonstrate the use of a Decorator pattern to implement caching for repositories.
1. composer install
2. php artisan migrate
3. php artisan db:seed
Check the Repositories directory and RepositoryServiceProvider for implementation details.
Invalidating caches in the file or database is a bit clunky because you cannot use Laravel's tagging feature for caches.
You would use Cache Tags for Redis or Memcached drivers.
