Question 1

How to cache Eloquent relationships with Rememberable?

Accepted Answer

Use a callback within the with() method to apply remember() to the relationship query. For example, as shown in the README: with(['posts' => function ($q) { $q->remember(60 * 60); }]). This ensures eager-loaded queries are cached separately.

Question 2

Rememberable vs Laravel's built-in cache for query caching?

Accepted Answer

Rememberable integrates directly with Eloquent, simplifying query caching without manual key management. Laravel's built-in cache requires more boilerplate code for similar results, but offers finer control over cache operations and driver usage.

Question 3

How to flush cache for specific queries in Rememberable?

Accepted Answer

Cache can only be flushed by tags. Use the flushCache() method with the tag name, or if a model-wide tag is set via $rememberCacheTag, call it without parameters to clear all cached queries for that tag.

Question 4

Does Rememberable work with Redis cache driver?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Rememberable supports custom cache drivers. Specify Redis using cacheDriver('redis') in the query or set the $rememberCacheDriver property on the model, leveraging Laravel's cache configuration.

Question 5

What happens if my cache driver doesn't support tags in Rememberable?

Accepted Answer

Tagging functionality will not work, and you'll need to use cache prefixes for key uniqueness instead. The README notes this limitation and suggests prefix() as an alternative for organization.

Question 6

How to disable caching for a query in Rememberable?

Accepted Answer

Use the dontRemember() method on the query builder to skip caching for that specific query, as shown in the README's skipping cache section. This is useful for bypassing cache when fresh data is needed.
