What's that?

winzouCacheBundle provides a simple cache management. Now you can use a cache system without reinventing it. It supports Apc, XCache, File, ZendData and Array., _(*1)

Installation

1. Add this bundle to your project:

Using composer, _(*2)

Add the following lines in your composer.json file:, _(*3)

"require": {
    ...
    "winzou/cache-bundle": "dev-master"
}

Now, run composer to download the bundle:, _(*4)

$ composer update

2. Add this bundle to your application's kernel:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
  $bundles = array(
      // ...
      new winzou\CacheBundle\winzouCacheBundle(),
      // ...
  );
}

Usage

In your controller:, _(*5)

$cache = $this->get('winzou_cache.apc');
// or
$cache = $this->get('winzou_cache.file');
// or
$cache = $this->get('winzou_cache.memcache');
// or
$cache = $this->get('winzou_cache.array');
// or
$cache = $this->get('winzou_cache.xcache');
// or
$cache = $this->get('winzou_cache.zenddata');
// or
$cache = $this->get('winzou_cache'); // in that case, it will use the default driver defined in config.yml, see below

$cache->save('bar', array('foo', 'bar'));

if ($cache->contains('bar')) {
    $bar = $cache->fetch('bar');
}

$cache->delete('bar');

See Cache\AbstractCache for all the available methods., _(*6)

Configuration

When using FileCache, if you don't want to store your cache files in %kernel.cache_dir%/winzou_cache (default value), then define the absolute path in your config.yml:, _(*7)

winzou_cache:
    options:
        cache_dir: %kernel.cache_dir%/MyAppCache
# or    cache_dir: /tmp/MyAppCache/%kernel.environment%

If you want to define in only one place the driver you want to use, you will like the default_driver option:, _(*8)

winzou_cache:
    options:
        default_driver: apc # default is "lifetimefile"

# and then $cache = $this->get('winzou_cache')

You can now access the ApcCache with the winzou_cache service. And if you want to change the driver, you have to modify only one value in your config.yml., _(*9)

If you don't define the default_driver and use $this->get('winzou_cache'), then you are using the FileCache., _(*10)

Raw access

You can overwrite any option just by using the factory service. See these two very similar methods:, _(*11)

$factory = $this->get('winzou_cache.factory');
$cache = $factory->getCache('file', array('cache_dir' => '/tmp/cache'));

Or by defining your own service:, _(*12)

your_cache:
    factory_service: winzou_cache.factory
    factory_method:  get
    class:           %winzou_cache.driver.abstract%
    arguments:
        - file                       # just modify this value to use another cache
        - {'cache_dir': /tmp/cache } # you can omit this if you don't use FileCache or if the default value is ok for you

# and then $cache = $this->get('your_cache')
