Laravel Redis Configuration for Acorn

Acorn provides Laravel integration with WordPress, which means that Laravel's Redis setup can be configured to work on your WordPress sites.

We recommend referencing the Laravel docs on Redis for a complete understanding of the integration.

Requirements #

The PhpRedis PECL extension, or the predis/predis package are required in order to use Redis.

Configuration #

Add the Laravel Redis package as a dependency:

$ composer require illuminate/redis

Update config/app.php to add the Redis Service Provider:

  Roots\Acorn\Providers\AcornServiceProvider::class,
  Roots\Acorn\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class,
  Roots\Acorn\View\ViewServiceProvider::class,
+ Illuminate\Redis\RedisServiceProvider::class,

Update config/app.php to add the Redis facade:

'aliases' => Facade::defaultAliases()->merge([
    // 'ExampleClass' => App\Example\ExampleClass::class,
+   'Redis' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redis::class
])->toArray(),
