Is there any way to flush cache (periodically) using Magento 2 cron?

Question

I need to flush some types of cache (or maybe all of them) by Magento cron tasks (not system native), also I might need it to be done periodically, is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

You can add below command in cpanel cron

php bin/magento cache:flush

if you want to run perticular cache then you can define

php bin/magento cache:flush layout

or you can add below code in cron and create cron too

<?php
use Magento\Framework\App\PageCache\Version;
use Magento\Framework\App\Cache\TypeListInterface;
use Magento\Framework\App\Cache\Frontend\Pool;
protected $cacheTypeList;
protected $cacheFrontendPool;
 
public function __construct(
    TypeListInterface $cacheTypeList, 
    Pool $cacheFrontendPool
){
    
    $this->cacheTypeList = $cacheTypeList;
    $this->cacheFrontendPool = $cacheFrontendPool;
 
}
 
public function flushCache(Version $subject)
{

  //define type which you want to clear cache
  $_types = [
            '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();
    }
}
