Slim and full compatible PSR-16 cache library for PHP

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via the `composer` utility.

```
composer require "phoole/cache"
```

or add the following lines to your `composer.json`

```
{
    "require": {
       "phoole/cache": "1.1.*"
    }
}
```

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Fully [PSR-16](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-16/) compliant.
- Support all serializable PHP data types.
- Extra features:

    - **Stampede Protection**: Whenever **ONE** cached object's lifetime is less than a configurable `stampedeGap` time in seconds (60s default), by a configurable `stampedePercent` (5% default) percentage, it will be considered stale. It may then trigger generating new cache depend on your decision. This feature is quite useful for reducing a single hot item stampede situation.

        ```
        // overwrite stampede defaults
        $cache = new Cache($fileAdatpor, [
            'stampedeGap' => 120,   // 120second
            'stampedePercent' => 2  // 2%
        ]);
        ```
    - **Distributed expiration**: By setting `distributedPercent` (5% default) to a reasonable percentage, system will store each cache item with its TTL(time to live) a small random fluctuation. This will help avoiding large amount of items expired at the same time.

        ```
        $cache = new Cache($fileAdaptor, [
            'distributedPercent' => 3,   // 3%, default is 5%
        ]);
        ```
- `CacheAwareInterface` and `CacheAwareTrait`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

- Simple usage

    ```
    use Phoole\Cache\Cache;

    // using default adaptor and default settings
    $cache = new Cache();

    // get with default value 'phoole'
    $name  = $cache->get('name', 'phoole');

    // set cache
    $cache->set('name', 'wow');
    ```
- Specify the adaptor

    ```
    use Phoole\Cache\Cache;
    use Phoole\Cache\Adaptor\FileAdaptor;

    // use file adaptor and specific cache directory
    $cache = new Cache(new FileAdaptor('/tmp/cache');
    ```
- Use with [dependency injection](https://github.com/phoole/di)

    ```
    use Phoole\Cache\Cache;
    use Phoole\Di\Container;
    use Phoole\Config\Config;

    // config cache in the container
    $container = new Container(new Config(
        'di.service' => [
            'cache' => Cache::class
        ],
    ));

    // get from container
    $cache = $container->get('cache');

    // or static FACADE way
    $cache = Container::cache();
    ```
