Laravel 12.9 Introduces Memoized Cache Driver

• Basic Usage
• Value Example
• Specifying Driver
• Mutation Behavior

Laravel has added a new memoized cache driver contributed by @timacdonald that decorates existing cache drivers by storing retrieved values in memory during a request lifecycle. This allows repeated calls to the same cache key to be resolved from memory, reducing repeated calls to the underlying cache.

Basic Usage

Cache::get('foo');         // hits the cache
Cache::get('foo');         // hits the cache
 
Cache::memo()->get('foo'); // hits the cache
Cache::memo()->get('foo'); // does NOT hit the cache

Value Example

Cache::put('name', 'Taylor');
Cache::get('name');           // "Taylor"
 
Cache::put('name', 'Tim');
Cache::get('name');           // "Tim"
 
Cache::put('name', 'Taylor');
Cache::memo()->get('name');   // "Taylor"
 
Cache::put('name', 'Tim');
Cache::memo()->get('name');   // "Taylor"

Specifying Driver

Cache::memo()->get('name');          // default driver
Cache::memo('redis')->get('name');   // Redis driver
Cache::memo('database')->get('name'); // Database driver

Each memoized store is isolated per driver:

Cache::driver('redis')->put('name', 'Taylor in Redis');
Cache::driver('database')->put('name', 'Taylor in the database');
 
Cache::memo('redis')->get('name');    // "Taylor in Redis"
Cache::memo('database')->get('name'); // "Taylor in the database"

Mutation Behavior

Memoized drivers forget cached values when mutation methods are used:

Cache::memo()->put('name', 'Taylor'); // writes and clears memoized 'name'
Cache::memo()->get('name');           // hits cache
Cache::memo()->get('name');           // memory
