Laravel 5 Clear Views Cache
PhpCachingLaravelLaravel 5Laravel ArtisanPhp Problem Overview
I notice that Laravel cache views are stored in ~/storage/framework/views. Over time, they get to eat up my space. How do I delete them? Is there any command that could? I tried php artisan cache:clear, but it is not clearing the views cache. With that, I have to manually delete the files in the said folder.
Also, how do I disable the views caching?
Php Solutions
Solution 1 - Php
There is now a php artisan view:clear command for this task since Laravel 5.1
Solution 2 - Php
To get all the artisan command, type...
php artisan
If you want to clear view cache, just use:
php artisan view:clear
If you don't know how to use specific artisan command, just add "help" (see below)
php artisan help view:clear
Solution 3 - Php
please try this below command :
sudo php artisan cache:clear
sudo php artisan view:clear
sudo php artisan config:cache
Solution 4 - Php
in Ubuntu system try to run below command:
sudo php artisan cache:clear
sudo php artisan view:clear
sudo php artisan config:cache
Solution 5 - Php
To answer your additional question how disable views caching:
You can do this by automatically delete the files in the folder for each request with the command php artisan view:clear mentioned by DilipGurung. Here is an example Middleware class from https://stackoverflow.com/a/38598434/2311074
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Artisan;
use Closure;
class ClearViewCache
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \Closure $next
* @return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
if (env('APP_DEBUG') || env('APP_ENV') === 'local')
Artisan::call('view:clear');
return $next($request);
}
}
However you may note that Larevel will recompile the files in the /app/storage/views folder whenever the time on the views files is earlier than the time on the PHP blade files for the layout. THus, I cannot really think of a scenario where this would be necessary to do.
Solution 6 - Php
Right now there is no view:clear command. For laravel 4 this can probably help you: https://gist.github.com/cjonstrup/8228165
Disabling caching can be done by skipping blade. View caching is done because blade compiling each time is a waste of time.
Solution 7 - Php
use Below command in terminal
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:cache
php artisan config:cache
php artisan view:clear

Here is a helper that I wrote to solve this issue for my projects. It makes it super simple and easy to be able to clear everything out quickly and with a single command.
