sabre/cache
===========

[](#sabrecache)

This repository is a simple abstraction layer for key-value caches. It implements [PSR-16](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-16-simple-cache.md).

If you need a super-simple way to support PSR-16, sabre/cache helps you get started. It's as hands-off as possible.

It also comes with a test-suite that can be used by other PSR-16 implementations.

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

[](#installation)

Make sure you have [composer](http://getcomposer.org/) installed, and then run:

```
composer require sabre/cache

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Read [PSR-16](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-16-simple-cache.md) for the API. We follow it to the letter.

### In-memory cache

[](#in-memory-cache)

This is useful as a test-double for long-running processes. The `Memory` cache only lasts as long as the object does.

```
$cache = new \Sabre\Cache\Memory();
```

### APCu cache

[](#apcu-cache)

This object uses the [APCu](http://php.net/apcu) api for caching. It's a fast memory cache that's shared by multiple PHP processes.

```
$cache = new \Sabre\Cache\Apcu();
```

### Memcached cache

[](#memcached-cache)

This object uses the [Memcached](http://php.net/apcu) extension for caching.

```
$memcached = new \Memcached();
$memcached->addServer('127.0.0.1', 11211);
$cache = new \Sabre\Cache\Memcached($memcached);
```

You are responsible for configuring memcached, and you just pass a fully instantiated objected to the `\Sabre\Cache\Memcached` constructor.
