\Cake\Cache\EngineArrayEngine

Array storage engine for cache.

Not actually a persistent cache engine. All data is only stored in memory for the duration of a single process. While not useful in production settings this engine can be useful in tests or console tools where you don't want the overhead of interacting with a cache servers, but want the work saving properties a cache provides.

Properties

$_defaultConfig

$_defaultConfig : array

The default cache configuration is overridden in most cache adapters. These are the keys that are common to all adapters. If overridden, this property is not used.

  • duration Specify how long items in this cache configuration last.
  • groups List of groups or 'tags' associated to every key stored in this config. handy for deleting a complete group from cache.
  • prefix Prefix appended to all entries. Good for when you need to share a keyspace with either another cache config or another application.
  • probability Probability of hitting a cache gc cleanup. Setting to 0 will disable cache::gc from ever being called automatically.
  • warnOnWriteFailures Some engines, such as ApcuEngine, may raise warnings on write failures.

clear()

clear(boolean  $check) : boolean

Delete all keys from the cache. This will clear every cache config using APC.

Parameters

Returns

boolean —

True Returns true.

deleteMany()

deleteMany(array  $keys) : array

Deletes keys from the cache

Parameters

array $keys

An array of identifiers for the data

Returns

array —

For each provided cache key (given back as the array key) true if the value was successfully deleted, false if it didn't exist or couldn't be removed

add()

add(string  $key, mixed  $value) : boolean

Add a key to the cache if it does not already exist.

Defaults to a non-atomic implementation. Subclasses should prefer atomic implementations.

Parameters

string $key

Identifier for the data.

mixed $value

Data to be cached.

Returns

boolean —

True if the data was successfully cached, false on failure.

clearGroup()

clearGroup(string  $group) : boolean

Increments the group value to simulate deletion of all keys under a group old values will remain in storage until they expire.

Parameters

string $group

The group to clear.

Returns

boolean —

success

groups()

groups() : array

Returns the `group value` for each of the configured groups If the group initial value was not found, then it initializes the group accordingly.

Returns

array

key()

key(string  $key) : boolean|string

Generates a safe key for use with cache engine storage engines.

Parameters

setConfig()

setConfig(string|array  $key, mixed|null  $value = null, boolean  $merge = true) : $this

Sets the config.

Usage

Setting a specific value:

$this->setConfig('key', $value);

Setting a nested value:

$this->setConfig('some.nested.key', $value);

Updating multiple config settings at the same time:

$this->setConfig(['one' => 'value', 'another' => 'value']);

Parameters

string|array $key

The key to set, or a complete array of configs.

mixed|null $value

The value to set.

Usage

Reading the whole config:

$this->getConfig();

Reading a specific value:

$this->getConfig('key');

Reading a nested value:

$this->getConfig('some.nested.key');

Reading with default value:

$this->getConfig('some-key', 'default-value');

Parameters

string|null $key
