Laravel - Is the cache:clear command will clear config cache also? - laravel

Question

I use Laravel 5.8, and as we know, there are 3 type of cache in Laravel
Config cache (php artisan config:cache)
Route cache (php artisan route:cache)
View cache (php artisan view:cache)
.
So, in my Laravel app, I use Cache::remember('mycachetoday', $seconds, function(){})...
In order to clear the mycachetoday, i must run php artisan cache:clear, right?
But I wonder if I run php artisan cache:clear, will the config, route, and view cache be cleared also?
Thanks

You can try
php artisan config:cache
The config cache file will be store in bootstrap/cache directory.
When you run
php artisan cache:clear
It will only clear the datas that you store by Cache. The config cache file still in bootstrap/cache.
After you run php artisan config:clear, the file will be deleted from bootstrap/cache.
Check the ClearCommand source code, there is no code that delete any config/route/view cache file in bootstrap/cache, and only clear the application cache.
/**
* Execute the console command.
*
* #return void
*/
public function handle()
{
$this->laravel['events']->dispatch(
'cache:clearing', [$this->argument('store'), $this->tags()]
);
$successful = $this->cache()->flush();
$this->flushFacades();
if (! $successful) {
return $this->error('Failed to clear cache. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions.');
}
$this->laravel['events']->dispatch(
'cache:cleared', [$this->argument('store'), $this->tags()]
);
$this->info('Application cache cleared!');
}
Check the ConfigClearCommand source code, it will delete the config cache file.
/**
* Execute the console command.
*
* #return void
*/
public function handle()
{
$this->files->delete($this->laravel->getCachedConfigPath());
$this->info('Configuration cache cleared!');
}

To clear everything, you can do php artisan optimize:clear. This will result in:
Compiled views cleared!
Application cache cleared!
Route cache cleared!
Configuration cache cleared!
Compiled services and packages files removed!
Caches cleared successfully!
