[](#-inanepaincache)

Some simple caching tools implementing PSR-6 and PSR-16.

1. Install
----------

[](#1-install)

composer

```
composer require inanepain/cache
```

Some simple caching tools that implement [`PSR-6`](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-6) and [`PSR-16`](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-16).

2. Goals
--------

[](#2-goals)

There is a lot to cover here, so I’ll keep a bit of a record so as not to let bits fall between the cracks. As a bonus, a record will help keep me focused on the goal as well as track progress.
Man can I talk/type crap oir what?

### 2.1. Primary Goal

[](#21-primary-goal)

To reduce remote access when using internet or other non-local-sourced data.

3. Example
----------

[](#3-example)

Basic example, creating a `RemoteFileCache` object and using it to only return a file once. Using the defaults any subsequent requests, within a one-day period for the same url, retrieves content from cache.

Basic RemoteFileCache Example

```
$rfc = new \Inane\Cache\RemoteFileCache();
$html = $rfc->get('http://example.com/files/example.html');
```

*"No way!"* I hear you say. *"That is so simple!"*
Yes, it is. But it is also very powerful.
The `RemoteFileCache` class implements the `PSR-6` and `PSR-16` interfaces so you can use it with any other library that implements those interfaces. It also has a few extra features that make it even more useful.
