README

eufony/cache provides the most trivial implementations of PSR-6 and PSR-16 as well as other essentials for getting started with caching.

eufony/cache is a small PHP library that handles basic caching needs without overcomplicating things. It implements the simplest kinds cache pools, supporting both the PSR-6 and PSR-16 standards, plus:

• Adapter classes to convert between PSR-6 and PSR-16 caching implementations.
• Utility classes to aid in the implementation of other caching backends.
• An extension to the caching standards using a tag-based cache invalidation technique.
• A framework to hook in to and modify the cache values on their way in and out of the pool.

Interested? Here's how to get started.

Getting started

Installation

eufony/cache is released as a Packagist package and can be easily installed via Composer with:

composer require "eufony/cache"

Basic Usage

For a more detailed documentation, see here.

eufony/cache provides three different caching implementations:

// An in-memory cache pool using a PHP array.
$cache = new ArrayCache();

// An in-memory cache pool using the `apcu` extension,
// which can share cache values between processes on the same host.
$cache = new ApcuCache();

// A fake cache based on the Null Object Pattern.
$cache = new NullCache();

You can extend these cache pools using marshallers and a tag-based cache invalidation interface.

It also provides adapter classes to convert between PSR-6 and PSR-16 cache implementations:

// Convert from PSR-6 to PSR-16.
$cache = new Psr16Adapter(/* ... */);

// Convert from PSR-16 to PSR-6.
$cache = new Psr6Adapter(/* ... */);
