A package for Laravel 5.5+ and above to cache embed information retrieved using the https://github.com/oscarotero/Embed package.
If you use this package in production, we ask that you buy the world some trees to thank us for our work. By contributing to our forest you’ll be creating employment for local families and restoring wildlife habitats.
Add the package to your Laravel project using composer:
$ composer require leewillis77/cached-embed
You can publish the configuration file using the following artisan command:
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Leewillis77\CachedEmbed\CachedEmbedServiceProvider" --tag="config"
You can change the following values in the configuration file (config/cachedembed.php
):
expiry
The default expiry time of cached embed data (in minutes).store
The name of cache store to use to store embed data. This must be a valid cache store as defined inconfig/cache.php
Simply use CachedEmbed::create
instead of Embed::create
, e.g
<?php
use Leewillis77\CachedEmbed\CachedEmbed;
$data = CachedEmbed::create('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ');
As with the underlying embed library, you can pass arguments as the second variable, e.g.
<?php
use Leewillis77\CachedEmbed\CachedEmbed;
$data = CachedEmbed::create(
'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ',
[ 'choose_bigger_image' => true ]
);
The library also supports setting a specific expiry time for individual embeds via a third parameter:
<?php
use Leewillis77\CachedEmbed\CachedEmbed;
$data = CachedEmbed::create(
'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ',
[ 'choose_bigger_image' => true ],
30
);
You're free to use this package, but if it makes it to your production environment you are required to buy the world a tree.
It’s now common knowledge that one of the best tools to tackle the climate crisis and keep our temperatures from rising above 1.5C is to plant trees. If you support this package and contribute to the Treeware forest you’ll be creating employment for local families and restoring wildlife habitats.
