### Use the WordPress transient API as a PSR-16 cache

[](#use-the-wordpress-transient-api-as-a-psr-16-cache)

```
composer require lachlanarthur/psr16-wordpress-transients
```

```
use LachlanArthur\Psr16WordPressTransients\WordPressTransientAdapter

new WordPressTransientAdapter( 'prefix-', MONTH_IN_SECONDS );
```

### NOTES

[](#notes)

- This cache cannot store `null` or `false`. This is because the WP transient API returns `false` for a cache miss, and the PSR-16 spec must return `null` for a cache miss.
- Key length is restricted to [172 characters](https://codex.wordpress.org/Transients_API#Saving_Transients), including the prefix.
