Variable microcaching with Laravel

cache_filter.php

<?php

Route::filter('cache', function($response = NULL) {
	$cname = 'response-' . Str::slug(URI::full());
	if (!$response) {
		return Cache::get($cname);
	}
	else if ($response->status == 200) {
		$ctime = floor(pow(current(sys_getloadavg()) + 1, 5)); # cache for between 1 and 32 minutes
		Cache::put($cname, $response, $ctime);
	}
});

sample_route.php

<?php

Route::get('foo', array('before' => 'cache', 'after' => 'cache', function() {
	...
});

So, this snippet caches the full page/reponse based on how long it takes to load.
Is that right?

maikeldaloo: not quite, it caches the full response based on how busy the server is at the time.

However, factoring in page build time isn't such a bad idea!

That's really cool.

Just noticed a tiny bug when developing locally on a Windows machine, and possibly if the site is hosted on a Windows machine.

Windows doesn't allow semicolons (:) in file names.
It's better to use a dash or an underscore.

Solution: don't develop on windows ;)

I've update the gist to fix this anyway.

Haha, I love my Windows :)
Thanks.
