FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package model-cache
Laravel Model Cache
Under development! Use at your own risk!
A lightweight, convention-driven caching layer for Laravel Eloquent models. Automatically caches model query results with observer-based invalidation, request-level caching, and Artisan commands for management.
Designed to cache frequently accessed reference data like stores, price lists, categories, and roles. It's ideal for small datasets (under 50 records) that are read often but change rarely, dramatically reducing database queries and improving response times from ~5-10ms to under 1ms.
Use it when: you have lookup tables, reference data, or configuration-like models that are loaded on almost every request and don't change frequently.
Avoid it when: you're dealing with large tables (>100 records), frequently changing data, real-time requirements, or models with heavy JSON fields that consume significant memory.
Best for: Stores, price lists, categories, statuses, roles, and other "dictionary" tables that power your application's dropdowns, filters, and navigation.
Not suitable for: Orders, users, logs, products (if large), or any data that requires up-to-the-second accuracy.
The package includes automatic cache clearing via observers, request-level caching, Artisan commands, and full Eloquent model support — everything stays cached while maintaining Laravel's native behavior.
Features
- Automatic Caching — Cache model query results with configurable TTL and cache driver
- Observer-Based Invalidation — Automatically clears cache when models are saved, updated, deleted, or restored
- Request-Level Caching — Avoids redundant cache lookups within the same request
- Artisan Commands — Warm up, clear, and inspect cache statistics via CLI
- Helper Functions — Convenient global helpers for quick access
- Facade Support —
ModelCachefacade for dependency injection - Dynamic Magic Methods — Call
findStores($id),allStores(), etc. directly - Fallback to Database — Gracefully falls back to database queries when cache is empty
Requirements
- PHP 8.4+
- Laravel 12+
Installation
The package is located at Lotestudio/ModelCache and is auto-discovered via Laravel's service provider registration.

Observer-Based Auto-Clear
When auto_clear is enabled in the config, the package automatically registers model observers that clear the relevant cache whenever a model is saved, updated, deleted, or restored.
The service provider checks for a custom observer at App\Observers\{ModelName}Observer before falling back to the generic ModelCacheObserver.
Architecture
Cache Invalidation
Cache is automatically invalidated via model observers when:
saved— Model is created or updatedupdated— Model is updateddeleted— Model is deletedrestored— Model is restored from soft delete
Manual invalidation is also available via clear() or the Artisan command.
