🎇Implementing cache for other functions than get()

Since all of the Laravel Eloquent functions are based on it, the builder that comes with this package replaces only the get() one:

use Illuminate\Support\Arr;

class Builder
{
    public function get($columns = ['*'])
    {
        if (! $this->shouldAvoidCache()) {
            return $this->getFromQueryCache('get', Arr::wrap($columns));
        }

        return parent::get($columns);
    }
}

In case that you want to cache your own methods from your custom builder or, for instance, your count() method doesn't rely on get(), you can replace it using this syntax:

class MyCustomBuilder
{
    public function count()
    {
        if (! $this->shouldAvoidCache()) {
            return $this->getFromQueryCache('count');
        }

        return parent::count();
    }
}

In fact, you can also replace any eloquent method within your builder if you use $this->shouldAvoidCache() check and retrieve the cached data using getFromQueryCache() method, passing the method name as string, and, optionally, an array of columns that defaults to ['*'].

Notice that the getFromQueryCache() method accepts a method name and a $columns parameter. If your method doesn't implement the $columns, don't pass it.

Note that some functions, like getQueryCacheCallback() may come with an $id parameter. The default behavior of the package doesn't use it, since the query builder uses ->get() by default that accepts only columns.

However, if your builder replaces functions like find(), $id is needed and you will also have to replace the getQueryCacheCallback() like so:

use Illuminate\Support\Arr;

class MyCustomBuilder
{
    public function getQueryCacheCallback(string $method = 'get', $columns = ['*'], string $id = null)
    {
        return function () use ($method, $columns, $id) {
            $this->avoidCache = true;

            // the function for find() caching
            // accepts different params
            if ($method === 'find') {
                return $this->find($id, $columns);
            }

            return $this->{$method}($columns);
        };
    }

    public function find($id, $columns = ['*'])
    {
        // implementing the same logic
        if (! $this->shouldAvoidCache()) {
            return $this->getFromQueryCache('find', Arr::wrap($columns), $id);
        }

        return parent::find($id, $columns);
    }
}
