Caching Implementation

To optimize query performance, caching is implemented in ProductController.php:

use App\Services\ProductService;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cache;

class ProductController extends Controller
{
    protected $productService;

    public function __construct(ProductService $productService)
    {
        $this->productService = $productService;
    }

    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $search = $request->input('search');
        $page = $request->input('page', 1); // Get the current page (default is 1)
    
        // Include the page in the cache key to store separate cache entries for each page
        $cacheKey = "products_search_{$search}_page_{$page}";
    
        $products = Cache::remember($cacheKey, 600, function () use ($search) {
            return $this->productService->getAllProducts($search);
        });
    
        return view('products.index', compact('products'));
    }

Clear Cache Manually

php artisan cache:clear

Security & Best Practices

• Environment Variables are excluded from Git (.env is in .gitignore).
• Middleware Protection ensures only authenticated users can access admin pages.
• Validation Rules prevent invalid data entry.
