How To Programmatically Empty Cache In Magento 2?

In some situations, you may feel a need to empty your Magento cache programmatically. That’s why we have come up with another “How to” blog to help you.

Read on to learn how to programmatically empty cache in Magento 2.

Step 1: First off, you need to define constructor – pass Magento\Framework\App\Cache\TypeListInterface and Magento\Framework\App\Cache\Frontend\Pool to your file’s constructor as explained below:

public function __construct(

Context $context,

\Magento\Framework\App\Cache\TypeListInterface $cacheTypeList,

\Magento\Framework\App\Cache\Frontend\Pool $cacheFrontendPool

) {

parent::__construct($context);

$this->_cacheTypeList = $cacheTypeList;

$this->_cacheFrontendPool = $cacheFrontendPool;

}

Step 2:  So the second step is to add the code mentioned below. You can add this code to the method where you need to empty the cache.

$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();

}
