Laravel 8 cache syntax copypasta
We can now use either the Cache facade or the global cache() function.
// option 1 - use facade
Cache::get('foo')
// option 2 - use global function
cache('foo')However, the global function does not work for all operations, only for store/write and retrieve/read. The following pairs do the same thing.
// Example - read
$myVar = cache('foo');
$myVar = Cache::get('foo');
// Example - write (optional expiration time 60s)
cache(['foo' => 'bar'], 60);
Cache::put('foo', 'bar', 60);We still need the facade to do these.
// Example - remove
Cache::forget('foo');
// Example - check if exists
if (Cache::has('foo')) echo "yay!";Import the facade class with use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cache.
