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.

Laravel Cache Dependency
A dependency-based caching system for Laravel inspired by Yii2. Features tag dependencies with O(1) invalidation and database dependencies for automatic cache freshness.
Why This Package?
Laravel's built-in cache tags have fundamental limitations:
- Retrieval requires exact tag match — You must provide the exact same tags used when caching
- Limited driver support — Only works with Redis and Memcached
- No database dependencies — No automatic invalidation when data changes
This package solves all three problems.
Features
- Tag Dependencies: Tags stored as metadata, retrieval without tags, O(1) invalidation via version counters
- Database Dependencies: Automatic cache invalidation when query results change
- Universal Driver Support: Works with all Laravel cache drivers (file, array, database, Redis, Memcached)
- Cache Interoperability: Works seamlessly with Laravel's Cache facade
- Configurable Behavior: Fail-open or fail-closed when database queries fail
Installation
Optionally publish the config:
Requirements
- PHP 8.2+
- Laravel 11+
Quick Start
Tag Dependencies
How It Works
Tags are stored as metadata with the cached entry. A version counter is maintained for each tag. When you invalidate a tag, the counter increments. On retrieval, cached entries check if their stored tag versions match current versions. If any tag version has increased, the cache is stale.
This is an O(1) operation — no iteration over cached items needed.
Usage
Database Dependencies
How It Works
When caching, you provide a SQL query. The query result is stored as a "baseline". On retrieval, the query is re-executed and compared to the baseline. If they differ, the cache is stale.
Usage
Failure Handling
When a database query fails during cache retrieval:
- Fail Closed (default): Treat as cache miss, fetch fresh data
- Fail Open: Return cached value (prioritize availability)
Configure in config/cache-dependency.php:
Combined Dependencies
You can combine tags and database dependencies:
Tag Design Patterns
Since the package uses explicit tagging (no wildcards), proper tag design is essential:
RBAC / Permission System
E-commerce / Product Catalog
Multi-tenant Application
Tag Naming Conventions
| Pattern | Use Case | Example |
|---|---|---|
entity.{id} |
All caches for a specific entity | user.123, product.456 |
entity.{id}.aspect |
Specific aspect of an entity | user.123.permissions |
entity.aspect |
All entities' aspect caches | user.permissions |
domain |
Domain-wide caches | rbac, products, settings |
parent.{id}.children |
Parent-child relationships | category.5.products |
