Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

A readable and fluent way to generate PHP cache time.

Built and written by [Ajimoti Ibukun](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ibukun-ajimoti-3420a786/)

Quick Samples
-------------

[](#quick-samples)

Instead of this:

```
$cacheDuration = 25 * 60 * 60; // twenty five hours
Redis::expire($userData, $cacheDuration);
```

You can do this

```
$cacheDuration = Duration::twentyFiveHours(); // returns 25 hours in seconds (25 * 60 * 60)
Redis::expire($userData, $cacheDuration);

// or
$cacheDuration = Duration::hours(25); // returns 25 hours in seconds (25 * 60 * 60)
Redis::expire($userData, $cacheDuration);
```

You can also do this:

```
$cacheDuration = Duration::at('first day of January 2023'); // returns the time difference between the present time and the first of january 2023 in seconds

Redis::expire($userData, $cacheDuration);
```
