Installation

Installation through Composer at Packagist

Usage

Usage is simple:

<?php

// Instantiate
$adapter = new AngryBytes\Cache\Adapter\Memcached;
$adapter->addServer('localhost', 11211);

$cache = new AngryBytes\Cache\Cache($adapter);

// Save
$cache->save($yourExpensiveData, 'cache-key');

// Load
$data = $cache->load('cache-key');

// Delete
$data = $cache->delete('cache-key');

Result checking

There is a special return type AngryBytes\Cache\ResultNotFound that signifies the result can not be retrieved:

<?php

// Load
$data = $cache->load('cache-key');

// Check
if ($data instanceof AngryBytes\Cache\ResultNotFound) {
    $yourExpensiveData = yourExpensiveMethod();

    // Save
    $cache->save($yourExpensiveData, 'cache-key');
}

ID Prefixing

If you need to support more than one cache store on the same backend you can add a prefix for all id's:

<?php

// Two stores with same adapter but different prefix:

$cache1 = new AngryBytes\Cache\Cache($adapter);
$cache1->setIdPrefix('foo');

$cache2 = new AngryBytes\Cache\Cache($adapter);
$cache2->setIdPrefix('foo');

You can also add more than one prefix, which can be handy for key cleaning:

<?php

$cache = new AngryBytes\Cache\Cache($adapter);
$cache->addIdPrefix('foo');
$cache->addIdPrefix('bar');
