Amber/Cache
===========

[](#ambercache)

Simple and fast cache system implementing PSR-16: interface for caching libraries

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Installation

[](#installation)

With Composer

```
$ composer require amber/cache

```

API Usage
---------

[](#api-usage)

```
use Amber\Cache\Cache;

$cache = Cache::getInstance();
```

### Drivers

[](#drivers)

Alternatively you can set the driver before geting the instance of the cache.

```
use Amber\Cache\Cache;

$cache = Cache::driver('file');
```

You can choose from these drivers:

```
$drivers = [
    'file'  => 'Amber\Cache\Driver\SimpleCache',
    'json'  => 'Amber\Cache\Driver\JsonCache',
    'array' => 'Amber\Cache\Driver\ArrayCache',
    'apcu'  => 'Amber\Cache\Driver\ApcuCache',
];
```

Or you could set the driver class:

```
$cache = Cache::driver(Amber\Cache\Driver\SimpleCache::class);
```

Finally you could instantiate the driver by yourself:

```
$cache = new \Amber\Cache\Driver\SimpleCache();
```

### get()

[](#get)

Fetches a value from the cache.

```
$cache->get($key, $default = null);
```

### set()

[](#set)

Persists data in the cache, uniquely referenced by a key with an optional expiration TTL time.

```
$cache->set($key, $value, $ttl = null);
```

### delete()

[](#delete)

Delete an item from the cache by its unique key.

```
$cache->delete($key);
```

### clear()

[](#clear)

Wipes clean the entire cache's keys.

```
$cache->clear();
```

### has()

[](#has)

Determines whether an item is present in the cache.

```
$cache->has($key);
```

Multiple actions
----------------

[](#multiple-actions)

### getMultiple()

[](#getmultiple)

Obtains multiple cache items by their unique keys.

```
$cache->getMultiple($keys, $default = null);
```

### setMultiple()

[](#setmultiple)

Persists a set of key => value pairs in the cache, with an optional TTL.

```
$cache->setMultiple($values, $ttl = null);
```

### deleteMultiple()

[](#deletemultiple)

Deletes multiple cache items in a single operation.

```
$cache->deleteMultiple($keys);
```

### Static Usage

[](#static-usage)

You can use all the method from the Cache class statically, like this:

```
use Amber\Cache\Cache;

Cache::set('key', 'value');

Cache::has('key'); // Returns true

Cache::get('key'); // Returns "value"

Cache::delete('key');

// Set the driver and then call the desired method.
Cache::driver('json')->set('key', 'value');
```
