Caching

The package includes built-in caching to improve performance.

Configuration

// config/polyglot-model.php

'cache' => [
    'enabled' => true,
    'ttl' => 3600, // 1 hour in seconds
    'prefix' => 'polyglot_',
],

How It Works

1. When a translation is fetched, it's cached with the configured TTL
2. Subsequent requests return the cached value
3. Cache is automatically cleared when translations are updated

Cache Keys

Keys follow this format:

{prefix}{model_type}_{model_id}_{field}_{locale}

Example:

polyglot_App\Models\Post_123_title_tr

Clearing Cache

// Clear all translations for a model
$post->clearTranslationCache();

// Automatic clearing on update
$post->setTranslate('title', 'tr', 'New Title');
// Cache for this field/locale is automatically cleared

In-Memory Cache

The package also uses an in-memory cache per request:

// First call - queries database
$post->getTranslate('title', 'tr');

// Second call in same request - uses in-memory cache
$post->getTranslate('title', 'tr');

Disabling Cache

// config/polyglot-model.php
'cache' => [
    'enabled' => false,
],

Or via environment:

POLYGLOT_CACHE_ENABLED=false
POLYGLOT_CACHE_TTL=7200

Production Recommendations

• Keep caching enabled
• Use Redis or Memcached for better performance
• Set appropriate TTL based on your update frequency
• Consider using cache tags for easier invalidation
