Cache Factory

Description

Simple Factory for php-cache/cache library (PSR-6 Cache implementation).

Goal

To offer a simple way of creating different cache pool adapters based on simplified configurations.

Usage

The factory creates and returns a PSR-6 compatible cache pool based on small and tidy configuration provided as either PHP array or via YAML configuration file.

Installation

Library is available on Packagist, so you can simply run:

composer require "dgreda/cache-factory":"v0.1.*"

Adapters

Currently factory supports the following adapters:

• Filesystem
• Memcached
• Predis

The goal is to implement all the adapters implemented by https://github.com/php-cache/cache

Examples

There are some examples of usage under the "examples" directory.

Nevertheless, to give you a quick explanation and idea how it works, let's assume that you want to quickly obtain a Memcached cache pool implementation. You prepare the following YAML file and save it as 'cache.yml'

Cache:
  adapter:
    memcached:
      type: Memcached
      servers:
        memcached1: { host: localhost, port: 11211 }

Then in your PHP code you instantiate the factory and provide the config file to it, to easily make an instance of desired cache pool defined in the YAML:

use Cache\Factory\Factory;

...

$cachePoolFactory = new Factory();

$cachePoolFactory->setConfigFile('cache.yml');

$cachePool = $cachePoolFactory->make('memcached');

Now you have the PSR-6 compatible instance of cache pool using the desired cache adapter!

Your YAML file can contain several adapters defined and you can easily get a new instance of desired/needed cache pool by simply passing the name of the adapter as a parameter to the 'make' method of the factory.
