Usage

Cache middleware

You may now use the cache middleware in your routes to cache successful GET requests from non logged in users. By default responses a cached for 24 hours.

// app/Http/routes.php

Route::get('/', ['middleware' => 'cache', 'uses' => 'HomeController@home']);

Clearing the cache

You may clear the cache using the provided facade:

\ResponseCache::clear();

Or through the provided artisan command

php artisan responsecache:clear

In case your cache store allows for tags, then only the response cache will be cleared. Otherwise your whole app cache will be cleared.
