Cache Chunks of Your Blade Markup With Ease

Laravel Blade Cache Directive is a package by Ryan Chandler that allows you to cache chunks of Blade files. The package provides a @cache directive you can use as follows:

{{-- Provide a cache key and TTL (default is 1 hour) --}}
@cache('current_time', 30)
    {{ now() }}
@endcache

The cache block will be cached using Laravel's application cache, and even allows string interpolation if you want to cache a block in a per-model way:

@cache("user_profile_{$user->id}")
    {{ $user->name }}
@endcache

If you're curious, the {{ now() }} cache block example would result in something like the following output:

$__cache_directive_arguments = ['current_time', 300];

if (count($__cache_directive_arguments) === 2) {
    [$__cache_directive_key, $__cache_directive_ttl] = $__cache_directive_arguments;
} else {
    [$__cache_directive_key] = $__cache_directive_arguments;
    $__cache_directive_ttl = config('blade-cache-directive.ttl');
}

if (\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cache::has($__cache_directive_key)) {
    echo \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cache::get($__cache_directive_key);
} else {
    $__cache_directive_buffering = true;

    ob_start();
    ?>
    <?php echo e(now()); ?>

    <?php
    $__cache_directive_buffer = ob_get_clean();

    \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cache::put($__cache_directive_key, $__cache_directive_buffer, $__cache_directive_ttl);

    echo $__cache_directive_buffer;

    unset($__cache_directive_key, $__cache_directive_ttl, $__cache_directive_buffer, $__cache_directive_buffering, $__cache_directive_arguments);
}
