Getting non static function statically is called Facades.
Lets set the cache like below in our web route
cache()->set('name',"navid");
and get it using dd()
dd(cache()->get('name'));
Result : “navid”
As we can see cache() is not a static method. If we Ctrl+Left Mouse Click on cache(),it will go to that method and we can see the cache()
function cache()
{
$arguments = func_get_args();
if (empty($arguments)) {
return app('cache');
}
if (is_string($arguments[0])) {
return app('cache')->get(...$arguments);
}
if (! is_array($arguments[0])) {
throw new Exception(
'When setting a value in the cache, you must pass an array of key / value pairs.'
);
}
return app('cache')->put(key($arguments[0]), reset($arguments[0]), $arguments[1] ?? null);
}
}
Though cache() is not a static function ,but in Laravel we can call it statically .It is called Facades.
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cache; cache::set('name',"navid");
dd(cache::get('name'));
Result is “navid”
