The caching backends supported are: - Files - APC - Memcached - Redis - Xcache Usage ----- [](#usage) Caching engines need to be configured with the `Cache::config()` method. ``` use Cake\Cache\Cache; // Using a short name Cache::config('default', [ 'className' => 'File', 'duration' => '+1 hours', 'path' => sys_get_tmp_dir(), 'prefix' => 'my_app_' ]); // Using a fully namespaced name. Cache::config('long', [ 'className' => \Cake\Cache\Engine\ApcuEngine::class, 'duration' => '+1 week', 'prefix' => 'my_app_' ]); // Using a constructed object. $object = new FileEngine($config); Cache::config('other', $object); ``` You can now read and write from the cache: ``` $data = Cache::remember('my_cache_key', function () { return Service::expensiveCall(); }); ``` The code above will try to look for data stored in cache under the `my_cache_key`, if not found the callback will be executed and the returned data will be cached for future calls.
