Cache

By default, Laravel Zero uses the array driver for caching. This means that using the Cache facade will work out of the box for the remainder of a commands process.

You can configure one or more custom cache drivers for your application by creating a new config/cache.php file.

For example, if you wanted to use the file driver, you could add the following:

<?php

return [
    'default' => 'file',

    'stores' => [
        'file' => [
            'driver' => 'file',
            'path' => storage_path('framework/cache/data'),
        ],
    ],
];

Note, this will not work in a compiled app as the storage path in the Phar cannot be accessed. See the Filesystem docs for more details.

Once implemented, you can then use the Cache facade as with a standard Laravel application.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cache;

Cache::put('full_name', 'Johnny Lawrence');
Cache::get('full_name');

Full details on using the Cache drivers are available on the main Laravel documentation.
