README

Delayed Cache is a wrapper for Zend Cache. Sometimes you have parallel requests want a cached result that was already started, but is still under construction. Delayed cache will wait until it is ready and then it will return the result for you.

Installing

Installing via Composer

Append the lib to your requirements key in your composer.json.

{
    // composer.json
    // [..]
    require: {
        // append this line to your requirements
        "koine/delayed-cache": "dev-master"
    }
}

Alternative install

• Learn composer. You should not be looking for an alternative install. It is worth the time. Trust me ;-)
• Follow this set of instructions

Usage

$zendCache = $cache  = \Zend\Cache\StorageFactory::adapterFactory(
    'apc',
    array('ttl' => 3600)
);

$delayedCache = new \Koine\DelayedCache\DelayedCache($zendCache);

// index.php, second 10:00:00 am

$cacheKey = 'veryExpansiveCalculation';

$veryExpansiveCalculation = function () {
    sleep(60);

    return '42';
};

// hasItem returns true in the false time
if (!$delayedCache->hasItem($cacheKey)) {
    $delayedCache->setItem($cacheKey, $veryExpansiveCalculation);
}

$answer = $delayedCache->getItem($cacheKey);
echo 'answer is: ' . $answer;

// index.php, 10:00:10 am

$cacheKey = 'veryExpansiveCalculation';

$veryExpansiveCalculation = function () {
    sleep(60);

    return '42';
};

// although the result is not ready yet, hasItem will return true
if (!$delayedCache->hasItem($cacheKey)) {
    $delayedCache->setItem($cacheKey, $veryExpansiveCalculation);
}

// Waits 50 seconds until the building of the cache is done and then returns
// The $veryExpansiveCalculation callback will not be executed twice, unless the
// cache is cleared
$answer = $delayedCache->getItem($cacheKey);
echo 'answer is: ' . $answer;

Alternatively you can use the short method:

$cacheKey = 'veryExpansiveCalculation';

$veryExpansiveCalculation = function () {
    sleep(60);

    return '42';
};

// if cache is not set, it will set and then return the cached value
$answer = $delayedCache->getCachedItem($cacheKey, $veryExpansiveCalculation);
echo 'answer is: ' . $answer;
