### Why is this useful?

The RedisStore that comes with the Laravel Cache does not compress string values out of the box.
The RedisStore in this package does. Caching string values can save a ton of memory and/or network bandwidth depending on
cached item size and request frequency.

### How do I use it?

Install the package...

```sh
composer require ehann/laravel-redis-store
```

Add a [custom cache driver](https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/cache#adding-custom-cache-drivers), like this...

```php
public function boot()
{
Cache::extend('ehann-redis', function ($app) {
return Cache::repository(new \Ehann\Cache\RedisStore(
$app['redis'],
$app['config']['cache.prefix'],
$app['config']['cache.stores.redis.connection']
));
});
}
```

Add the **ehann-redis** custom driver to the redis store config in config/cache.php...

```php
'stores' => [
'redis' => [
'driver' => 'ehann-redis',
],
],
```
