MiMatus\\ExportCache
====================

[](#mimatusexportcache)

**PSR-6 Cache without deserialization speeded-up with OPcache**

This cache package aim to target small niche use-cases when deserialization of stored data can have significant performance impact and when data stored in cache are updated rarely (or never, mainly because of write [performance](#performance)).

🛠 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

```
composer require mimatus/export-cache
```

It's highly recommanded to enable OPcache for best [performance](#performance)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Use when ...

[](#use-when-)

- [OPcache](https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.OPcache.php) is enabled
- cached data are rarely changing (too frequent changes might lead to periodical reset of the OPcache memory)
- needs cache shared by PHP processes

### Don't use when...

[](#dont-use-when)

- basically in any other use-case which is not in [Use when ... section](#use-when) 😅

### Example

[](#example)

```
use MiMatus\ExportCache\ExportCache;

$storagePath = sys_get_temp_dir() . \DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'export-cache';
$cache = new ExportCache($storagePath);
$closure = function () {
    return 'data'
};

$cache->set('key0', 'data', new DateInterval('P1D'));
$cache->set('key1', ['data']);
$cache->set('key2', $closure);
$cache->set('key3', 'expired data', new DateInterval('P1S'));

sleep(2);

assert($cache->get('key0') === 'data');
assert($cache->get('key1') === ['data']);
assert($cache->get('key2')() === 'data');
assert($cache->get('key3') === null);
```

### Data limitations

[](#data-limitations)

Thanks to [brick/varexporter](https://github.com/brick/varexporter) which is used for data serialization, it's possible to cache almost any PHP value, even closures, however with some [limitations](https://github.com/brick/varexporter#limitations):

- PHP Internal objects - SplFileInfo, XMLReader, etc.
- objects with circular references
- annonymous classes
- eval()'d or same line declared Closures, [more info](https://github.com/brick/varexporter#caveats)

Concurrency
-----------

[](#concurrency)

- Dirty Reads
- Lost Updates
- Phantom read
- Non-repeatable Reads - WIP
