Magento 2 cache solution needed - magento

Question

Hi I'm looking for a cache solution that will allow us to see changes we make across our site much quicker. At the moment we have a cache that runs routinely every day at 1am. The issue I have is that if I want to make changes on the site such as catalog price rules, block changes and category updates, I don't see this until the following day.
Ideally I'd see these changes instantly. Thanks in advance for any tips.

To do this you have to programatically clean it and flush the cache
You can do this in magento 2, but you have to do it manually in your code
The way to do this is:
1. Inject these classed into you constructor dependency
private $_cacheTypeList;
private $_cacheFrontendPool;
public function __construct(
...
\Magento\Framework\App\Cache\TypeListInterface $cacheTypeList,
\Magento\Framework\App\Cache\Frontend\Pool $cacheFrontendPool
) {
...
$this->_cacheTypeList = $cacheTypeList;
$this->_cacheFrontendPool = $cacheFrontendPool;
}
2. Write this code inside of your class
$types = array('config','layout','block_html','collections','reflection','db_ddl','eav','config_integration','config_integration_api','full_page','translate','config_webservice');
foreach ($types as $type) {
$this->_cacheTypeList->cleanType($type);
}
foreach ($this->_cacheFrontendPool as $cacheFrontend) {
$cacheFrontend->getBackend()->clean();
}
Inside of the $types array you have all the type of cache you want to clean
Also magento 2 has areas so, you have cache tyes and frontend pool cache types as well.
This will refresh all the types you've entered inside you $types array.
Check magento documentation for all cache types that are available in here
to clean only the ones you need, instead of every single one of them
