KBRA Cache
==========

[](#kbra-cache)

A simple PHP cache library

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Prerequisites

[](#prerequisites)

- PHP 5.6 or 7
- Some [caching driver](https://github.com/PHPSocialNetwork/phpfastcache#supported-drivers-at-this-day-) supported by phpfastcache

### Installing

[](#installing)

Install with composer:

```
composer require kbra/cache

```

Set the configuration based on your cache driver. Using Redis, your config might look something like this:

```
$settings = [
    'driver' => 'redis',
    'maxRetries' => 3,
    'config' => [
        'defaultTtl' => 900,
        'host' => 'cache.example.com',
        'port' => 6379,
        'database' => 11,
        'password' => 'SuperSecretPassword',
        'timeout' => 3,
    ],
];

$cacheService = new CacheService($settings);

```

*Right now this library only properly handles connection errors from Redis*

You may choose to connect your cache driver manually:

```
$cacheService->connect();

```

But if you don't, a connection will be attempted the first time it is needed.

To save data to the cache:

```
$cacheService->set('some-data', $data);

```

And to retrieve it from the cache:

```
$data = $cacheService->get('some-data');

```

You can pass some extra options when saving data to the cache. A unique cache key will be generated based on the name and options passed. For example, if you wanted to cache a database query with some parameters:

```
$query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE thing = :thing";
$params = [':thing' => 'something'];
$result = $pdo->fetchAll($query, $params);

$cacheService->set($query, $result, $params);

```

And to get the cached result:

```
$result = $cacheService->get($query, $params);

```

You can also save some tags associated with the cache data, which can be used later to remove items from the cache:

```
$tags = [$userName, 'portfolio'];
$cacheService->set($query, $result, $params, $tags);

// clear ALL caches tagged with 'portfolio'
$cacheService->clearTags('portfolio');

```
