Laravel Multi Cache

Allows you to use multiple Laravel cache stores as one. Retrieves items from the first cache they are found in.

An example use is to have an array cache and Redis cache. Fetch items from the array cache first (faster), and from Redis if the key was not found. The value will be stored in the array cache if it was found in Redis.

composer require rapidez/laravel-multi-cache

The service provider will autoload, if you have disabled this add this to your config/app.php providers array:

Rapidez\LaravelMultiCache\MultiStoreServiceProvider::class

Add the multi store to your config/cache.php stores array:

    'stores' => [
        'array' => [
            'driver' => 'array',
        ],
        'database' => [
            'driver' => 'database',
            'table'  => 'cache',
            'connection' => null,
        ],
        'redis' => [
            'driver' => 'redis',
            'connection' => 'redis-cache',
        ],
        'multi' => [
            'driver' => 'multi',
            'stores' => [
                'array',
                'redis',
                'database'
            ],
            'sync_missed_stores' => true,
        ]
    ],

Set your CACHE_DRIVER in .env:

CACHE_DRIVER=multi

The cache implements the standard cache interface, so you use all the normal get() and put() methods.

Returns the value from the first store $key is found in (in the order defined in stores). The value will be saved in any higher 'stores'. e.g. If the value is not found it array, but is in redis, the value from redis will be returned and put in array, but it will not be put in database. This behaviour can be disabled by setting sync_missed_stores => false in config.

Stores an item in all of the stores.

All of the other methods (increment(), forget(), flush(), etc.) perform the operation on all of the stores.
