🧬 About Cache

This micropackage is a wrapper for WordPress cache with two drivers implemented:

• WP Object Cache API
• Transients API

It provides a unified, object-oriented way to manipulate WordPress Cache, witch the Cache manipulator object for even easier setting and getting the cache.

💾 Installation

composer require micropackage/cache

🕹 Usage

Object Cache

Constructing the Object Cache driver:

use Micropackage\Cache\Driver\ObjectCache;

$object_cache = new ObjectCache( $group = 'my_group', $expiration = DAY_IN_SECONDS );
$object_cache->set_key( 'cache_key' );

Group parameter allows you to store the cache under the same key across multiple groups. Default is empty string.

By default the expiration is set to 0 which means the transient never expires.

Available methods

Transient Cache

Constructing the Transient Cache driver:

use Micropackage\Cache\Driver\Transient;

$transient_cache = new Transient( $expiration = DAY_IN_SECONDS );
$transient_cache->set_key( 'cache_key' );

By default the expiration is set to 0 which means the transient never expires.

Available methods

Cache manipulator

The Cache manipulator object allows you to use the collect method to easily get/store the cache value.

See the below example with Object Cache (you can pass the Transient Driver as well).

use Micropackage\Cache\Cache;
use Micropackage\Cache\Driver\ObjectCache;

$driver = new ObjectCache( $group = 'my_group', $expiration = DAY_IN_SECONDS );
$cache  = new Cache( $driver, $cache_key = 'extremaly_important_thing' );

$the_thing = $cache->collect( function() {
	return 'The value was not set apparently';
} );

The collect method takes a callable function as an argument. If the cache wasn't set for the key provided in cache construtor, the callable is called which should return the value for cache. The value is stored and returned.

Using variables from outside the callable:

$some_var = 'I am awesome!';

$the_thing = $cache->collect( function() use ( $some_var ) {
	return $some_var;
} );

📦 About the Micropackage project

Micropackages - as the name suggests - are micro packages with a tiny bit of reusable code, helpful particularly in WordPress development.

The aim is to have multiple packages which can be put together to create something bigger by defining only the structure.

Micropackages are maintained by BracketSpace.
