Description
===========

[](#description)

Simple Factory for php-cache/cache library (PSR-6 Cache implementation).

Goal
====

[](#goal)

To offer a simple way of creating different cache pool adapters based on simplified configurations.

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

The factory creates and returns a PSR-6 compatible cache pool based on small and tidy configuration provided as either PHP array or via YAML configuration file.

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

[](#installation)

Library is available on Packagist, so you can simply run:

```
composer require "dgreda/cache-factory":"v0.1.*"

```

Adapters
--------

[](#adapters)

Currently factory supports the following adapters:

- Filesystem
- Memcached
- Predis

The goal is to implement all the adapters implemented by

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

There are some examples of usage under the "examples" directory.

Nevertheless, to give you a quick explanation and idea how it works, let's assume that you want to quickly obtain a Memcached cache pool implementation. You prepare the following YAML file and save it as 'cache.yml'

```
Cache:
  adapter:
    memcached:
      type: Memcached
      servers:
        memcached1: { host: localhost, port: 11211 }

```

Then in your PHP code you instantiate the factory and provide the config file to it, to easily make an instance of desired cache pool defined in the YAML:

```
use Cache\Factory\Factory;

...

$cachePoolFactory = new Factory();

$cachePoolFactory->setConfigFile('cache.yml');

$cachePool = $cachePoolFactory->make('memcached');

```

Now you have the PSR-6 compatible instance of cache pool using the desired cache adapter!

Your YAML file can contain several adapters defined and you can easily get a new instance of desired/needed cache pool by simply passing the name of the adapter as a parameter to the 'make' method of the factory.
