Laravel Programming Tutorials, Guides & Best Practices

When data changes, clear and refresh the cache:

   Cache::forget('shared_data');

   // Regenerate cache
   Cache::rememberForever('shared_data', function () {
       return [
           'max_uploads' => 10,
           'api_rate_limit' => 100,
           'features' => [
               'uploads_enabled' => true,
               'comments_enabled' => false,
           ],
       ];
   });

   namespace App\Http\Controllers;

   use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

   class BaseController extends Controller
   {
       protected $userRole;
       protected $featureToggles;
       protected $appConfig;

       public function __construct()
       {
           // Set the current user's role
           $this->userRole = Auth::check() ? Auth::user()->role : 'guest';

           // Define feature toggles
           $this->featureToggles = [
               'file_uploads_enabled' => true,
               'comments_enabled' => false,
           ];

           // Set app-wide configurations
           $this->appConfig = [
               'app_mode' => 'live', // Options: 'maintenance', 'live'
               'max_api_requests' => 100,
           ];
       }
   }

Make other controllers extend the Base Controller to inherit its shared properties and logic.
