Laravel 5 Clear Views Cache

Question

I notice that Laravel cache views are stored in ~/storage/framework/views. Over time, they get to eat up my space. How do I delete them? Is there any command th

Answer 1

To answer your additional question how disable views caching:

You can do this by automatically delete the files in the folder for each request with the command php artisan view:clear mentioned by DilipGurung. Here is an example Middleware class from https://stackoverflow.com/a/38598434/2311074

<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;

use Artisan;
use Closure;

class ClearViewCache
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        if (env('APP_DEBUG') || env('APP_ENV') === 'local') 
            Artisan::call('view:clear');

        return $next($request);
    }
}

However you may note that Larevel will recompile the files in the /app/storage/views folder whenever the time on the views files is earlier than the time on the PHP blade files for the layout. THus, I cannot really think of a scenario where this would be necessary to do.
