What is a Kipchak Driver?

Kipchak Drivers are used to connect Kipchak to various data sources or storage systems.

They provide a standardized interface for interacting with different data sources, allowing developers to focus on building their applications rather than dealing with the complexities of each data source.

Drivers were introduced as a part of the Kipchak 2.0 release.

Drivers are basically Container Dependencies injected into Kipchak's Service Container.

How do Kipchak Drivers work?

Some Kipchak drivers are wired into the Service Container via a config file (where required).

If applicable, you will find a sample config file in this repository as well as in the starter project at https://1x.ax/mamluk/kipchak/starter.

Each driver defines an implementation of Kipchak's Driver Interface. Where applicable, the dependency may accept a parameter for a specific instance of the driver specified as a config property, for instance, in the case of multiple database connections or S3 buckets.

So you may access the driver by invoking \Mamluk\Kipchak\Driver\Memcached\Memcached::get('cache'), where cache is the name of one of the memcached connection pools specified in the config file.
