Most of the time you may end up refreshing your view pages or adding new routes but it won't be accessible from the user browser. It's all because of caching that Laravel does for us.
In this article let's see how to clear Laravel application cache, routes, views & configs caches in a very simple way.
Topics that we will cover
In Laravel 8 you can run the following command and breath easily.
php artisan optimize:clear
Flush the application cache
php artisan cache:clear
Remove the route cache file
php artisan route:clear
Clear all compiled view files
php artisan view:clear
Remove the configuration cache file
php artisan config:clear
We can create a simple callback URL in web.php
to clear all the caches at a stretch
Route::get('/clear-all-cache', function() {
Artisan::call('cache:clear');
Artisan::call('route:clear');
Artisan::call('view:clear');
Artisan::call('config:clear');
echo "Cleared all caches successfully.";
});
Let's create a simple command utility so that we can use it as and when required from the command line.
ClearAllCache
Commandphp artisan make:command ClearAllCache
ClearAllCache.php
command class<?php
namespace App\Console\Commands;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Artisan;
class ClearAllCache extends Command
{
protected $signature = 'cache:clear-all';
protected $description = 'Command to clear application, route, view & config caches';
public function handle()
{
Artisan::call('cache:clear');
Artisan::call('route:clear');
Artisan::call('view:clear');
Artisan::call('config:clear');
echo "Cleared all caches successfully.";
}
}
You can verify the above command using the following in the console
php artisan
