README

Integrate mesavolt/simple-cache into your Symfony app.

By default, it writes the cache to disk in the cache directory of Symfony (%kernel.cache_dir%) and uses an empty namespace, but both these options can be configured.

Installation

Applications that use Symfony Flex

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute:

composer require mesavolt/simple-cache-bundle

That's it. Flex automagically enables the bundle for you. Go to the Configuration section of this README to see how you can customize the bundle's behavior.

Applications that don't use Symfony Flex

Step 1: Download the Bundle

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

composer require mesavolt/simple-cache-bundle

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the app/AppKernel.php file of your project:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

// ...
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...
            new Mesavolt\SimpleCacheBundle\SimpleCacheBundle(),
        );

        // ...
    }

    // ...
}

Configuration

The following options are available to customize the behavior of the bundle's cache service :

Applications that don't use Symfony Flex

Create config/services/simple_cache.yaml and tweak its content :

simple_cache:
    namespaces: 
      - default
      - specific
    cache_dir: /tmp/cache

Applications that don't use Symfony Flex

Add this to your app/config/config.yml file and tweak the options :

simple_cache:
    namespaces:
      - default
      - specific
    cache_dir: /tmp/cache

Usage

To retrieve a Mesavolt\SimpleCache instance, you can:

• inject the cache attached to the first namespace from the namespaces option by type-hinting Mesavolt\SimpleCache
• get the mesavolt.simple_cache.default or mesavolt.simple_cache.specific services from the container,
• inject the Mesavolt\SimpleCacheBundle\SimpleCachePool service and get a cache by its namespace with the getCache($namespace) method

<?php

namespace App;


use Mesavolt\SimpleCache;
use Mesavolt\SimpleCacheBundle\SimpleCachePool;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

class HomeController extends AbstractController
{
    public function demo1(SimpleCache $cache): Response
    {
        // $cache is the cache configured with the 'default' namespace
        $time = $cache->get('val', function () {
            return time();
        }, SimpleCache::TTL_30_MINUTES);
        
        return $this->render('home/demo.html.twig', [
            'time' => $time
        ]);
    }

    public function demo2(): Response
    {
        $time = $this->get('mesavolt.simple_cache.default')->get('val', function () {
            return time();
        }, SimpleCache::TTL_30_MINUTES);

        return $this->render('home/demo.html.twig', [
            'time' => $time
        ]);
    }

    public function demo3(SimpleCachePool $pool): Response
    {
        $time = $pool->getCache('specific')->get('val', function () {
            return time();
        }, SimpleCache::TTL_30_MINUTES);

        return $this->render('home/demo.html.twig', [
            'time' => $time
        ]);
    }
}
