Eloquent Faster

Simple none-I/O cache for eloquent model accessor and mutators.

Installation

composer require "reshadman/eloquent-faster"

Usage

First you need to add the following service provider to your application

return [
     //.. other config

     'providers' => [
        // other providers
        \Reshadman\EloquentFaster\EloquentFasterServiceProvider::class
     ]

];

Then run the following artisan command

php artisan eloquent:cache

For clearing cache

php artisan eloquent:clear

If you use OPCACHE in your PHP installation, this class will not use I/O for each script run, as opcache loads code into memory.

Problem

Simply the problem begins from this issuge.

Currently the eloquent model class contains a cache strategy for getters which first fetches all class methods and runs a loop on them filtering them by a regular expression. This occurs only once per unique eloquent final object. The getter cache container is only filled up with the processed snake case attribute key.

Each time a new model class is created for first time a loop with 50 to 100 iterations with processing a regular expression is run.

Wouldn't it be cool to have something like php artisan eloquent:cache for this ?

Running unit tests
