I hate slow APIs, I cache things on disk.

Install

composer require mattmezza/cacheasy

Usage

With string responses:

$providerStrAPI = new class implements Cacheasy\StringProvider {
    public function get() : string
    {
        return (new SlowAPIsClient())->slowAPI();
    }
};
// ./cache is the cache path, 86400 is the time to live
$cache = new Cache("./cache", 86400);
// if slowAPI is not cached let's get the data and cache them
$result = $cache->getString("slowAPI", $providerStrAPI); # this is slow :(
$result2 = $cache->getString("slowAPI", $providerStrAPI); # this is blazing fast :)
echo $result2;

With JSON responses:

$providerJsonAPI = new class implements Cacheasy\JsonProvider {
    public function get() : array
    {
        return (new SlowAPIsClient())->slowAPI();
    }
};
// ./cache is the cache path, 86400 is the time to live
$cache = new Cache("./cache", 86400);
// if slowAPI is not cached let's get the data and cache them
$result = $cache->getJson("slowjsonAPI", $providerJsonAPI); # this is slow :(
$result2 = $cache->getJson("slowjsonAPI", $providerJsonAPI); # this is blazing fast :)
echo $result2["property"];

API

• cacheString($key, $string) : string: caches a string with key
• cacheJson($key, $array) : array: caches an array to json with key
• hitString($key) : string: tries to resume from cache a string with key
• hitJson($key) : array: tries to resume from cache a json with key
• isCached($key) : bool: checks if key is cached on disk and if it is not expired
• getJson($key, $provider = null, bool $forceFresh = false) : array: returns hitJson(...) if key is cached, calls provider otherwise. Throws exception if $provider is null and $key is not cached. If $forceFresh is set to true skips isCached check and calls the provider (ultimately caching the data).
• getString($key, $provider = null, bool $forceFresh = false) : string: returns hitString(...) if key is cached, calls provider otherwise. Throws exception if $provider is null and $key is not cached. If $forceFresh is set to true skips isCached check and calls the provider (ultimately caching the data).
• invalidate($key) : void: deletes the cached resource
• invalidateAll() : void: deletes all the cached resources

Exceptions

MissingProviderException: when get..(...) is called for a non cached resource and no provider is passed, or when, even if the resource is cached, the method is invoked with null provider and with true force fresh values. NotCachedException: when you wanna hit the cache but the resource is not cached yet.
