If class with 'Cache' name already exists you can use AS for rename included class

```
use AlirezaAshrafi\Cache as FileCache;
```

- Initialization parameters are directory and file name
- First parameter is absolute path of cache directory
- Second parameter is the file you want to save results

```
$directory = __DIR__ . '/cache-dir';
$file = 'products';

$cache = new Cache($directory , $file);

// OR

$cache = new Cache(__DIR__ . '/cache-dir' , 'products');
```

- Directory hierarchy (path/cache-dir/products)

#### Set

$cache->set("product-1-name", "Iphone 13");
$cache->set("product-1-description", "Iphone 13 pro max 256G");

```
$product_name = $cache->get("product-1-name", "default value"); // "Iphone 13"
$product_name = $cache->get("product-2-name", "default value"); // "default value"
```
