Cache

Caching requires a driver which supports tags. File and Database won't work, redis is suggested. Please make sure to either disable caching in the config or use the array driver for local development., _(*10)

In the has-settings.php config file you can enable/disable caching and set the cache expiration time., _(*11)

Caching is enabled by default, _(*12)

Please do remember that each of the settings in a EAV model are set in a TEXT field, thus a value of true will be stored as "1", _(*13)
