Installtion

composer require nabeelalihashmi/LightCache

Basic Usage

$cache = new IconicCodes\LightCache\FilesCache;
$cache->cachedir = __DIR__ . "/cache";

$cache->get('key', function () {
    return ["value", time() + 10]; // cache for 10 seconds
});

$cache->delete('key');

Methods

• get
• getValue
• has
• delete
• set

get($key, $callback)

Returns the value of the key. If the key is not found, the callback will be called and the value will be cached. If the key is found, the callback will not be called. The callback shall return an array with the value and the expiration time.

$cache-get('key', function() {
    return ["value", time() + 10]; // cache for 10 seconds
});

This is probably most used function.

getValue($key)

Return value if key exists or cache is not exired. If key does not exist, returns false. If cache is expired, returns false.

has($key)

Returns true if key exists. Doesn't check cache expiration.

delete($key)

Deletes key from cache. This is probably the second most used function.

set($key, $value, $expiration)

Sets the value of the key. The expiration time is optional. If not set, the value will be cached for ever.
