OneLineAPC
==========

[](#onelineapc)

Dead simple wrapper class for [APC](http://php.net/manual/en/intro.apc.php) and [APCu](http://php.net/manual/en/intro.apcu.php) which capable of setting and getting cached data from a callback or a variable in one single line.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.3 or later
- `php-apc` extension installed

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require benjamindean/one-line-apc

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$cache = new OneLineAPC();
```

By default, this class uses [APC](http://php.net/manual/en/intro.apc.php). To use [APCu](http://php.net/manual/en/intro.apcu.php) just pass it while instantiating the class:

```
$cache = new OneLineAPC('apcu');
```

Default TTL is 79200 (22 hours). To change it, call `setTtl` method:

```
$cache->setTtl(3600);
```

OR, specify it individually as a last argument to `setCache` or `cached` methods:

```
$cache->setCache($dataToCache, 'key', 3600);
```

Cached
------

[](#cached)

The main and the most important method (the reason I created this class) is called `cached`:

```
$cache->cached('key', 'functionName');
```

`functionName` is the name of some function in your code which returns the data that needs to be cached. Any variable, integer or string will work too. You can also pass function arguments as a third argument here.

In case your function is within some class, pass it as an array of Object and a function name:

```
$cache->cached('key', array($obj, 'functionName'));
```

You can find out more about callbacks [here](http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.callable.php).

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

### Class method

[](#class-method)

```
class ReturnData {
    public function fetchData($url) {
        return file_get_contents($url);
    }
}

$obj = new ReturnData();

$apc = new OneLineAPC();
$apc->setTtl(3600);

return $apc->cached('key', array($obj, 'fetchData'), array('http://example.com/'));
```

### Function

[](#function)

```
function fetchData($url) {
    return file_get_contents($url);
}

$apc = new OneLineAPC();
$apc->setTtl(3600);

return $apc->cached('key', 'fetchData', array('http://example.com/'));
```

### Variable

[](#variable)

```
$something = 'Data to be cached';

$apc = new OneLineAPC();

return $apc->cached('key', $something, false, 3600);
```

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

If `apc` or `apcu` is not loaded, this class will generate "Notice", instead of "Fatal Error".
