The Cache library provides a Cache service locator for interfacing with multiple caching backends using
a simple to use interface.
The caching backends supported are:
- Files
- APC
- Memcached
- Redis
- Xcache
Caching engines need to be configured with the Cache::config() method.
use Cake\Cache\Cache; // Using a short name Cache::config('default', [ 'className' => 'File', 'duration' => '+1 hours', 'path' => sys_get_tmp_dir(), 'prefix' => 'my_app_' ]); // Using a fully namespaced name. Cache::config('long', [ 'className' => \Cake\Cache\Engine\ApcuEngine::class, 'duration' => '+1 week', 'prefix' => 'my_app_' ]); // Using a constructed object. $object = new FileEngine($config); Cache::config('other', $object);
You can now read and write from the cache:
$data = Cache::remember('my_cache_key', function () { return Service::expensiveCall(); });
The code above will try to look for data stored in cache under the my_cache_key, if not found
the callback will be executed and the returned data will be cached for future calls.
