Flush Commands

Flush runtime state — caches, FilePond temporary uploads, and sessions. These commands complement the Cache commands: the Cache group manages Modularous own versioned cache, while Flush clears broader runtime artefacts that accumulate during development and operation.

Command	Signature	Description
flush	modularous:flush	Flush all Modularous caches
flush:filepond	modularous:flush:filepond	Delete orphaned FilePond temporary files
flush:sessions	modularous:flush:sessions	Clear session data (supports multiple drivers)

Common Workflows

Scheduled housekeeping

Add to your scheduler (app/Console/Kernel.php or routes/console.php):

Schedule::command('modularous:flush:filepond')->daily();
Schedule::command('modularous:flush:sessions')->weekly();

FilePond leaves temporary upload chunks when users abandon forms — clear them daily. Sessions usually self-expire but can accumulate in the file driver.

After clearing data during local dev

php artisan modularous:flush
php artisan modularous:flush:filepond

Resets caches and removes abandoned upload chunks so the UI is in a clean state.

Force logout everyone

php artisan modularous:flush:sessions

Useful after a security-sensitive change (role permissions, auth config). All active sessions are invalidated; users must log in again.
