php - Caching relationships eager loaded in the model (protected $with) with Laravel and Eloquent -

in article model eager load category relationship within model:

protected $with = array('category');

when articles in controller cache results of both articles , relationships eager load there:

$articles = article::with([ 'owner' => function ($q) {$q->remember(10);}, 'tags' => function ($q) {$q->remember(10);}, 'thumbnail' => function ($q) {$q->remember(10);} ]) ->remember(10)->get();

but; article.category not cached. thought cached article model, since eager loaded in model. not happen.

it cached if eager load (with cache) in controller adding article::with:

'category' => function ($q) {$q->remember(10);}

i know can remember() relationship itself:

public function category() { homecoming $this->belongsto('category', 'category_id')->remember(10); }

but cached, define whether , how long cached in controller. values may vary use.

is possible? or must caching defined in model, since eager loading happens there?

just utilize with('category' => ... in controller.

you might want extract repository though, don't stuff controller logic. , repositories trendy nowadays ;)

search repository pattern larn more.

in laravel world repository refers abstraction on storage layer (be db , eloquent or else), decouple controllers persistence engine you're using.

and what's more important, allows easier testing of code.
