PSR-6 and PSR-16 Cache factories for PSR-11 with Zend configuration provider.

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

[](#installation)

The easiest way to install this package is through composer:

```
$ composer require validus/cache
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

A complete example configuration can be found in example/full-config.php. Please note that the values in there are the defaults, and don't have to be supplied when you are not changing them. Keep your own configuration as minimal as possible. A minimal configuration can be found in example/simple-config.php

If your application uses the zend-component-installer Composer plugin, your configuration is complete; the shipped `Validus\Cache\ConfigProvider` registers the cache service.

#### Accessing the cache adapter

[](#accessing-the-cache-adapter)

you can access the cache implementation via the container :

```
use Psr\Cache\CacheItemPoolInterface;
use Psr\SimpleCache\CacheInterface;

// $pool instanceof CacheItemPoolInterface
$pool = $container->get(CacheItemPoolInterface::class);

// $cache instanceof CacheInterface
$cache = $container->get(CacheInterface::class);
```

#### Middleware

[](#middleware)

Validus cache package comes with a `CacheResetMiddleware`, allowing you to reset the cache pool to its initial status after every request.

you can add the middleware to your `config/pipeline.php` file like this :

```
    $app->pipe(\Validus\Cache\Middleware\CacheResetMiddleware::class);
```

a factory for the middleware is already provided in the config provider so you don't have to worry about that as long as you are using zend-component-installer composer plugin.
