README

Framework-agnostic page-cache control for Contenir CMS.

The CMS lets an operator toggle page caching on or off, decide which request signals participate in cache-key generation (query/post/session/files/cookie), and exclude specific URL patterns. The consuming Site (Mezzio, Laminas MVC, anything else) reads those settings on every request and applies them in its caching layer.

This package provides the domain — an immutable state value plus a repository interface, with file-based and in-memory implementations. Framework-specific listeners come from sibling packages (e.g. contenir/cache-laminas-mvc).

Install

composer require contenir/cache

Add contenir/config if you intend to use Repository\FileRepository (admin-side writer). Sites that read state from the merged Laminas/Mezzio config — and use Repository\InMemoryRepository in tests — don't need it.

Usage

Reading state

use Contenir\Cache\Repository\FileRepository;

$repo = new FileRepository('/var/www/shared/pagecache.local.php');
$state = $repo->get();

if ($state->enabled) {
    // Apply cache options ($state->options) and route overrides ($state->routes)
}

Writing state (admin)

use Contenir\Cache\CacheControl;

$repo->save(new CacheControl(
    enabled: true,
    options: ['cache_with_query' => true, 'cache_with_session' => false],
    routes:  ['/api.*' => ['cache' => false]],
));

File format

FileRepository reads and writes a PHP file under the pagecache namespace, so the same file can be merged directly into a Laminas/Mezzio site config:

<?php

return [
    'pagecache' => [
        'options' => [
            'cache'              => true,
            'cache_with_query'   => true,
            'cache_with_session' => false,
        ],
        'routes' => [
            '/api.*' => ['cache' => false],
        ],
    ],
];

A missing or unreadable file resolves to disabled state with empty options and routes, so first-run consumers never serve cached content before the admin has explicitly opted in. Other top-level config keys (errors, maintenance, …) and operator-authored sibling options are preserved on save.

Testing

InMemoryRepository is shipped in src/ so consumers can use it in their own test suites:

use Contenir\Cache\Repository\InMemoryRepository;
use Contenir\Cache\CacheControl;

$repo = new InMemoryRepository(CacheControl::enabled());
