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.

Eloquent identity provides a cache on top of Eloquent preventing multiple models being created for a single database row using the Identity Map design pattern (P of EAA & Wikipedia).

Installing
To install this package simply run the following command.
This package uses auto-discovery to register the service provider but if you'd rather do it manually, the service provider is:
There is no configuration required.
Usage
To make use of the Eloquent identity map on your models, add the following trait.
Finding
Any calls to find(), findOrFail() or findOrNew() on a model that uses this trait, will skip the query
if a model has already been created using the provided id.
Calls to findMany() will skip any ids that have already been used, only querying ones that are not present in the cache.
The query is only skipped if there are no where clauses, joins or having statements.
If you wish to force the query, you can call refreshIdentityMap() on the query builder instance. If you wish to skip
the query on a builder instance where refreshIdentityMap() has been called, you can call useIdentityMap().
Hydrating
When the query builder attempts to create a new instance of a model using this trait, with a key that matches an already existing instance of the model, the existing instance will be used.
If the model is using timestamps, and the returned attributes are newer, the attributes on the existing instance will be updated, but will retain any changes you'd previously made.
BelongsTo
If a belongs to relationship is loaded (not belongs to many) without constraints and without refreshIdentityMap() being
called, the query will skip any model instances that already exist.
Flushing
If you wish to flush the cached models, call flushIdentities() on an instance of IdentityManager, or on the Identity
facade.
How
The IdentityManager stores an array containing all existing model instances and their identity.
The identities for models are stored as string, created using the following class.
This contains a key, the model class name, and the connection name. The string version of these looks like so:
Why
It's very easy to end up with multiple versions of the same model, meaning that updates on one aren't persisted to others.
Eloquent identity was created to reduce the number of models created, help limit unnecessary queries, and allow for consistent model interaction. It doesn't matter where in your code you're dealing with user 1, any changes made during a request will persist across all instances.
