This step-by-step guide covers implementing a custom cache system for Statamic, which provides near-static cache response times while preserving some of the text-editor workflows that make Statamic great. Learn about some interesting Statamic internals and fantastic Laravel features along the way! 

Topics covered throughout this guide include:

  • Working with Statamic's Stache repositories to query entries, assets, and taxonomy terms
  • Overriding Statamic's data classes to add custom features and behaviors
  • Custom service providers, Artisan commands, and facades
  • Tracking request content dependencies, including assets and global variables
  • Leveraging Laravel view composers to track request template dependencies
  • Utilizing Laravel's service container to interact with different classes throughout the application lifecycle
  • Developing custom Antlers tags
  • Unencrypted Laravel cookies and automatic cache bypass

About the Author

Hello, internet!

My name is John, and I have over fifteen years of professional software development. I've worked on a wide range of projects over the years, from simple websites and critical government reporting applications all the way to high-performance telematics solutions.

During my downtime, I enjoy working on open-source projects, writing posts on my blog, and contributing to the Laravel and Statamic ecosystems.

Some of the recent open-source projects I've worked on include:

  • blade-parser-typescript - a Laravel Blade parser, formatter, reflection library, and linter, written in TypeScript
  • Antlers Toolbox - a Visual Studio Code extension providing syntax highlighting, code auto-complete, intelligent refactoring, and project-aware assistance for Statamic developers
  • Antlers Runtime - an advanced PHP templating engine for the Statamic CMS platform
  • Proteus - a Laravel package that makes it simple to read, write, and modify Laravel configuration files from your application code
  • Primitives - a PHP library that safely parses input strings into native PHP types (string, bool, arrays, etc.) and can optionally be configured with a sandbox for method evaluation
