UserBase Client Bundle for Symfony

Installation

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute:, _(*1)

$ composer require --no-scripts userbase/client-bundle

Create the bundle configuration:, _(*2)

# config/packages/userbase-client-bundle.yaml
user_base_client:
  http_client:
    url: '%env(USERBASE_DSN)%'

# .env.local
USERBASE_DSN=https://key:secret@userbase.example.com/api/v1

Complete the installation:, _(*3)

$ composer auto-scripts post-install-cmd

Caching

It is possible to cache the user data obtained from Userbase in the course of Authentication. This can help to reduce the load Userbase must bear and make your application speedier., _(*4)

First you will configure a PSR-6 cache pool and adapter and then you will configure the Bundle to make use of the cache., _(*5)

Configure a Cache

You should familiarise yourself with the Symfony Cache and Cache Component documentation., _(*6)

By way of example, here is the config needed to have FrameworkBundle create a cache using the FilesystemAdapter., _(*7)

Configure the adapter in your Service Container config:, _(*8)

# config/services.yaml

parameters:
  ...
  app.userbase_cache.path: 'path/to/a/directory'
  app.userbase_cache.default_lifetime_secs: 600

services:
  ...
  userbase_cache.adapter:
    class: Symfony\Component\Cache\Adapter\FilesystemAdapter
    arguments:
      - 'userbase'
      - '%app.userbase_cache.default_lifetime_secs%'
      - '%app.userbase_cache.path%'

This will make available a cache adapter as a service with the id userbase_cache.adapter. A cache pool can now be configured:, _(*9)

# config/packages/prod/cache.yaml

framework:
  cache:
    pools:
      userbase_cache:
        adapter: userbase_cache.adapter

This will make available a cache pool with the id userbase_cache. The Bundle can now be configured:, _(*10)

# config/packages/prod/userbase.yaml

user_base_client:
  ...
  cache:
    id: userbase_cache
    lifetime: '%app.userbase_cache.default_lifetime_secs%' # or, e.g. 3600

Finally, clear the application cache to activate the configuration:, _(*11)

bin/console cache:clear

That's it., _(*12)

Please note that the Filesystem cache adapter is not ideal because it is slow and has no built-in means of evicting items from the cache (eviction can be achieved using the bin/console cache:pool:prune console command). A better choice of adapter is Memcached or Redis., _(*13)
