$_defaultConfig

$_defaultConfig : array

The default config used unless overridden by runtime configuration

  • database database number to use for connection.
  • 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.
  • password Redis server password.
  • persistent Connect to the Redis server with a persistent connection
  • port port number to the Redis server.
  • 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.
  • server URL or ip to the Redis server host.
  • timeout timeout in seconds (float).
  • unix_socket Path to the unix socket file (default: false)

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']);
