Cachalot

Cachalot (cache a lot) is an easy to use caching library. It supposed to do the only one thing - return cached callback result.

Installation

Define the following requirement in your composer.json file:

"require": {
    "ihor/cachalot": "2.3"
}

Usage

// With Cachalot cache you can easily cache results of different types of functions
$cache = new \Cachalot\ArrayCache();

// built-in functions
$length = $cache->getCached('strlen', ['hello world']); 

// user defined functions
$unique = $cache->getCached('uniqueValues', [[1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3]]);

// static methods
$result = $cache->getCached(['Calculator', 'subtract'], [1, 2]);

// instance methods
$square = $cache->getCached([new Calculator(), 'square'], [5]);

// anonymous functions
$reason = $cache->getCached($getErrorReason, [], \Cachalot\Cache::ONE_DAY, 'error-reason');

// callable objects
$trimed = $cache->getCached(new Trimmer(), [' hello world ']);

Reference

Cache API

getCached($callback, array $args = array(), $expireIn = 0, $suffix = null, $useSuffixAsKey = false)

Returns cached $callback result

$callback is the function (callable) which results we want to be cached
$args are the arguments passed to the $callback
$expireIn sets cache TTL in seconds
$suffix is needed to avoid collisions when callback is an anonymous function $useSuffixAsKey when true cache suffix will be used as a cache key

$length = $cache->getCached('strlen', ['hello world']);

To have possibility to use Cachalot as a regular caching library when needed it contains classic cache methods

contains($key)

Returns true if cache contains entry with given key

if ($cache->contains('lastVisit')) {
    echo 'This is not the first visit';
}
get($key)

Returns cached value by key or false if there is no cache entry for the given key

if ($lastVisitDate = $cache->get('lastVisit')) {
    echo sprintf('Last visit was at %s', $lastVisitDate);
}
set($key, $value, $expireIn = 0)

Caches value by key. When $expireIn = 0 the value is cached forever

$cache->set('lastVisit', time());
delete($key)

Deletes cache entry by key

$cache->delete('lastVisit');
clear()

Deletes all cache entries

$cache->clear();
