How to Create Own Cache driver and Learn Cache drivers from Laravel

Laravel provides an expressive, unified API for various caching backends. We stored all Cache information in the config/cache.php file of your project. They configure Laravel to use a file cache driver to keep the serialized cached objects in the filesystem.

Driver Prerequisites:-

Database:

You are going with a database cache driver. You will need to create a table that contains cache items.

Schema::create('cache', function ($table) {
    $table->string('key')->unique();
    $table->text('value');
    $table->integer('expiration');
});

Run the artisan command php artisan cache:table. It will generate a migration with the proper schema.

Memcached:

For Memcached driver requires Memcached PECL package. You may list all the Memcached servers in the config/cache.php file.

'memcached' => [
    [
        'host' => '127.0.0.1',
        'port' => 11211,
        'weight' => 100
    ],
],
