Forgetting Cache using Regular expression laravel-CodePudding

I am using using laravel and Redis driver to store my cache and I keep my keys scoped to the current tenant. Below is how I set my cache; where $tenant is the current tenant.

$department_count = Cache::remember('dep_count:'.$tenant, 60 * 60 * 24, function () use ($tenant) {
       return Department::where('is_active', 'yes')->where('tenantID', $tenant)->count();
});

So on switch school, I want to clear all the cache for current tenant using cache::forget() but I don't know how to do that.

I've tried Cache::forget('*:'.$tenant) but it doesn't seem to work. Any help on how to go about it is much appreciated.

If I understand you correctly you want to empty all of your cache so you could do that by using

Cache::flush();

for more info check it here from the docs

CodePudding user response：

If you want group cache and remove only specific group of cache you can use tags.

Please read this. It will be helpful

Cache::tags(['tag_'.$tenant])->remember('dep_count:'.$tenant, 60 * 60 * 24, function () use ($tenant) {
       return Department::where('is_active', 'yes')->where('tenantID', $tenant)->count();
});

For remove

Cache::tags(['tag_'.$tenant])->flush();
