$folder = './cache';
$prefix = 'tmp_';
$data = 'example data, but can be an int or an array which will be serialized'

/** Create a cache file **/
FileCache::instance()->setPrefix($folder) // Useful when you want to delete every cached data of the same type
FileCache::instance()->setCacheFolder($pregix)

FileCache::instance($folder, $prefix)->set($key, 'My string to set in a cache || But it could be an array or an object...');
FileCache::instance($folder, $prefix)->get($key, $maxAge);
FileCache::instance($folder, $prefix)->get($key, 0);  // Always valid. No expiration
FileCache::instance($folder, $prefix)->getElseCreate($key , $maxAge, function() { return ['My first data in cache']; });
