The most powerful and efficient Laravel plugin for proper data-fetching

This is a fresh Laravel plugin which gets data from your database, caches it and gets it ready for displaying on your amazing page. It is really simple to use, so it might not puzzle you.

Instalation

First, you have to install the package using composer in your project root folder:

composer require robertseghedi/laravel-autofetcher

Then, you have to add the provider to your config/app.php like that:

// your providers

RobertSeghedi\Autofetcher\AutofetcherProvider::class, 

Information

Usage

Now you can start using the package.

1. Include it in your controller

use RobertSeghedi\Autofetcher\Models\Autofetch;

2. Start extracting fresh data

public function fetch_table($table = null)
{
    $x = Autofetch::database($table);
    return $x;
}

public function fetch_top_donators($table = null)
{
    $x = Autofetch::top($table, 'donated_money', 10, 1800, 'public');
    return $x;
}

• $table - the table's name that you want to extract data from
• 'donated_money' - the order-by-field's name
• 10 - number of results (so the above code will return a top 10)
• 1800 - the number of seconds for which the data will be cached
• 'public' - the public option is for efficient data-caching & displaying the data on a public website which doesn't require refresh-updated data. If you use the public option, your user-cached data won't refresh until the specified time is up. If you use the private option, your user-cached data will refresh instantly. The private option is good if you are developing an admin dashboard or a limited-access app.

3. Display it as you wish
