How to remove all caches prefixed by a specific string ?

Hello ,

I created a cache depending to the user id :

Cache::forever('users_list'.$userId, $values);

I want when I add users to update the cache values , so I delete all the caches starting with users_list

like that I will delete users_list1 users_list2 users_list3 users_list4 users_list5 users_list6...

You need to use cache tags, but they are not supported when using the file, dynamodb, or database cache drivers.

I have one more question please : If I want to put the TTL value outside of this controller , where can I put it ?

(something like config)

I prefer to have it there and use a carbon for example

$value = Cache::remember('users', now()->addHours(12), function () {
    return DB::table('users')->get();
});

@michaloravec you mean in the config ?

I mean that instead of putting a number there, it;s better to use for example now()->addHours(12)
