Yii2 Refresh-Ahead Cache
========================

[](#yii2-refresh-ahead-cache)

Yii2 Refresh-Ahead Cache can decorate Yii2 cache components or other components to implement a refresh-ahead cache strategy.

The Refresh-Ahead cache strategy (also called Read-Ahead) is used to refresh cached data before it expires. By refreshing cached data before it expires (and doing it asynchronously), end-users never have to suffer the delay of the refresh. Furthermore, it can also help avoid a [Cache Stampede](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_stampede).

For license information check the [LICENSE](LICENSE.md)-file.
