The Filecache Driver

Introduction

The File driver provides a simple and efficient way to store and retrieve data on disk.

Except for very rare cases, it is not recommended for production use.

It is based on the excellent Symfony Cache component and provides a convenient interface.

Installation

Install the driver via composer by running:

composer require kipchak/driver-filecache

Initialise the Driver

Add the following line to your drivers/drivers.php file:

\Mamluk\Kipchak\Driver\Filecache\Filecache::iniitalise($container);

Configuration

This driver has no configuration.

Usage

use Kipchak\Driver\Filecache\Filecache;
use Symfony\Contracts\Cache\ItemInterface;

$cache = Filecache::get();

$value = $cache->get('my_cache_key', function (ItemInterface $item) {
    $item->expiresAfter(3600); // Cache for 1 hour

    // Expensive operation here
    return 'cached value';
});
