How can I enable caching on Laravel models

[mpikzink]

I can't manage to cache the Ldap queries for the Laravel models. I think I still need to enable caching centrally, but I can't find how to do this for Laravel in the documentation. Here is some example how I like to cache the $users query for example but the query is not cached so far.

    public function getGroupAttribute(): \LdapRecord\Models\Model|\LdapRecord\Query\Model\Builder|null
    {
        $users = UnixGroup::cache(new DateTime('tomorrow'))->get();

        return $users->where('gidnumber.0', $this->group_id)->first();
    }

Hi @mpikzink, I see this isn't in the LdapRecord-Laravel documentation. I'll patch this now, thanks!

You can enable the cache via its default env key:

LDAP_CACHE=true

Or, you can publish the configuration file and configure it there:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="LdapRecord\Laravel\LdapServiceProvider"

LdapRecord-Laravel/config/ldap.php

Lines 65 to 79 in 605e1bc

	/*
	|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	| LDAP Cache
	|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	|
	| LDAP caching enables the ability of caching search results using the
	| query builder. This is great for running expensive operations that
	| may take many seconds to complete, such as a pagination request.

	'cache' => [
	'enabled' => env('LDAP_CACHE', false),
	'driver' => env('CACHE_DRIVER', 'file'),
	],

Okay, new cache docs have been published on the LdapRecord-Laravel configuration page:
