soft-cache
==========

[](#soft-cache)

Soft cache for your class methods. Sometimes, during one script run, one method is executed several times with the same arguments. Better caching the output of it, especially when querying a databse or an API.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
class TestClass {

	use SoftCache\SoftCacheTrait;

	public function getNextYearsWithCache($yearFrom, $years) {
		if ($this->checkMethodCache(__FUNCTION__, func_get_args())) {
			return $this->readMethodCache(__FUNCTION__, func_get_args());
		}
		$output = $this->getNextYearsWithoutCache($yearFrom, $years);
		$this->writeMethodCache(__FUNCTION__, func_get_args(), $output);
		return $output;
	}

	public function getNextYearsWithoutCache($yearFrom, $years) {
		return range($yearFrom + 1 , $yearFrom + $years);
	}

}
```
