How to get list of all cached items by key in Laravel 5?

Question

The Cache class in laravel has methods such as get(\'itemKey\') to retrieve items from the cache, and remember(\'itemKey\', [\'myData1\', \'myData2\']) to save items in the cach

Answer 1

in \config\database.php make a redis store for the cache

   // store cache in their own redis store ...
    'cache-connection' => [
        'host'               => ...,
        'password'           => ...,
        'port'               => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
        'database'           => 2,
        'read_write_timeout' => 60,
        'timeout'            => 6.0,
    ],

in \config\cache.php use this redis database

'stores' => [
   ...
   'redis' => [
        'driver'     => 'redis',
        'connection' => 'cache-connection',
    ],
],

now you can use Redis class to check what is in your cache

$a = Redis::connection('cache-connection')->keys('*');
\Log::debug($a);
