Cache::forever(key, value);

To update cache stored using forever(), you will have to forget() the key and readd it and the value again.

Cache::remember - forever?
Hi,
I have some settings stored in the database and I want to cache them forever as they don't change often. When the user updates his settings, I delete the cache and add the new version to the cache.
How can I set this method to store the data forever?
´´´ $value = Cache::remember('users', $minutes, function () { return DB::table('users')->get(); }); ´´´

But how can I use this with a closure so that Laravel performs a query if the key don't exists in the cache?

Just check if the key exists. If not, cache it then return the cached value.
if ( ! Cache::get(key)) {
$query = Model::find(blah);
Cache::forever(key, $query);
}
return Cache::get(key);
There are other ways as well. Here's a good video: https://laracasts.com/lessons/caching-essentials

I remember there used to be a caching strategy for query builder. Is it no longer the case ?

@eriktobben You’re looking for the rememberForever() method:
Cache::rememberForever('cache_key', function () {
// The result of the closure will be cached
// until you manually clear the cache key.
return $something;
});
