Laravel 4 Memcache support
--------------------------

[](#laravel-4-memcache-support)

========

### SetUp Application

[](#setup-application)

Add the package to your composer.json and run composer update.

```
"igormatkovic/memcache": "dev-master"
```

Add the memcache service provider in app/config/app.php:

```
'Igormatkovic\Memcache\MemcacheServiceProvider',
```

You may now update your app/config/session.php config file to use memcache

```
	'driver' => 'memcache',
```

**OR...**

Add this to your app/start/global.php (Cache only)

```
use Illuminate\Cache\Repository;
use Igormatkovic\Memcache\MemcacheStore;
use Igormatkovic\Memcache\MemcacheConnector;

Cache::extend('memcache', function($app) {
	$servers = Config::get('cache.memcached');
	$prefix = Config::get('cache.prefix');

	$memcache = (new MemcacheConnector())->connect($servers);

	return new Repository(new MemcacheStore($memcache, $prefix));
});
```

Update your driver app/config/cache.php

```
	'driver' => 'memcache',
```

Unit test view phpunit

```
	phpunit
```

**Notice: This memcache driver uses the same config as Memcached**

This addon was build because of the Webtatic repo lacking Memcache Support :/
