[![CI](https://github.com/ez-php/cache/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/ez-php/cache/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

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

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.5+
- ez-php/framework 0.\*
- ext-redis (for Redis driver)
- ext-memcached (for Memcached driver)

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require ez-php/cache
```

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

Register the service provider:

```
$app->register(\EzPhp\Cache\CacheServiceProvider::class);
```

Configure in `config/cache.php`:

```
return [
    'driver'    => env('CACHE_DRIVER', 'array'), // array | file | redis | memcached
    'file_path' => storage_path('cache'),
    'redis'     => [
        'host'     => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'port'     => (int) env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
        'database' => (int) env('REDIS_DATABASE', 0),
    ],
    'memcached' => [
        'host' => env('MEMCACHED_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'port' => (int) env('MEMCACHED_PORT', 11211),
    ],
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Basic operations

[](#basic-operations)

```
$cache = $app->make(\EzPhp\Cache\CacheInterface::class);

$cache->set('key', 'value', ttl: 3600);
$value  = $cache->get('key', 'default');
$cache->forget('key');
$cache->has('key');
$result = $cache->remember('key', 60, fn () => expensiveComputation());
$cache->flush();
```

### Tagging

[](#tagging)

```
$tagged = $cache->tags('users');
$tagged->set('profile:42', $profile, 300);
$tagged->flush(); // invalidates all keys tagged with 'users'
```

### Locking

[](#locking)

```
$lock = $cache->lock('process-payments', ttl: 30);
if ($lock->acquire()) {
    try {
        // critical section
    } finally {
        $lock->release();
    }
}
```

### Stampede protection

[](#stampede-protection)

```
use EzPhp\Cache\StampedeProtectedCache;

$protected = new StampedeProtectedCache($cache);
$value = $protected->remember('expensive-key', 300, fn () => heavyQuery());
```
