Usage

Install the package:

composer require dealerinspire/cache-driver-failover

Register the service provider in config/app.php:

...
'providers' => [
    ...
    /*
     * Package Service Providers...
     */
    DealerInspire\AppCache\AppCacheProvider::class,
    ...
],
...

Configuration:

You do not need to publish a configuration for this package. The app_cache configuration automatically merged into your config/cache.php configuration. If you wish to change the app_cache_driver configuration, simply add the following to your config/cache.php:

...
'app_cache_driver' => 'value',
...

Add the following .env variables:

APP_CACHE_DRIVER=redis
APP_REDIS_HOST=
APP_REDIS_PASSWORD=
APP_REDIS_PORT=6379
APP_REDIS_CACHE_DB=0

Use the package in your project:

public function __construct(AppCacheContract $cache)
{
    $this->cache = $cache;
}

Type-hint the DealerInspire\AppCache\AppCacheContract into your class to begin using.

Laravel Notes

If you are on a version of Laravel lower than 5.8 the cache duration constants in AppCacheContract will not be accurate. Laravel versions less than 5.8 use cache duration values of minutes. In Laravel 5.8, cache duration was changed to use seconds, which is the format that this package follows. Please keep this in mind as you're implementing this package and be wary of the constants on Laravel <5.8.
