Cache

Goffee uses Redis for cache and its disabled by default, you can enable it in the file config/cache.go by setting the attribute EnableCache to true, then add Redis connection information to the .env if you are using it. otherwise, you can use an external tool to inject these variables into the environment

Here is a sample of the Redis connection information in the .env` file:

#######################################
######            CACHE          ######
#######################################
CACHE_DRIVER=redis
REDIS_HOST=localhost
REDIS_PORT=6379
REDIS_PASSWORD=
REDIS_DB=0

}

Set values in the cache with an expiration date​

package controllers

import (
    "git.smarteching.com/goffee/core"
)

func Login(c *core.Context) *core.Response {
    hours24 := time.Duration(time.Hour * 24) // 24 hours duration
    afterHours24: time.Now().Add(hours24) // the date after 24 hours from now
    err := c.GetCache().SetWithExpiration("userID", 12345, afterHours24) // expires after 24 hours
}
