Query Builders

Query Builders

Query builders in PyroCMS work just the same as query builders in Laravel with the addition of a few cool features.

Caching Queries

The query builder in PyroCMS provides a direct API for storing query results in the model's cache collection. The cache collection is automatically cleared when the model's table is altered in any way (such as saving, deleting, etc).

To enable query cacheing you must first set DB_CACHE=true in your .env file and set the cache lifetime.

You can set the cache lifetime in seconds by using the ttl method:

$results = $model->where('status', true)->cache(300)->get();

You can also define the $ttl property on the model you are using for the query:

protected $ttl = 300;

Fetching Fresh Results

If you are leveraging query caching you may want to temporarily omit cache. You can do this by using the fresh method.

$results = $model->where('status', true)->fresh()->get();
