Buffer
extends MemoryStore
in package
This is a helper class for BufferedStore & TransactionalStore, which buffer real cache requests in memory.
The memory-part can easily be handled by MemoryStore. There's just 1 gotcha: when an item is to be deleted (but not yet committed), it needs to be deleted from the MemoryStore too, but we need to be able to make a distinction between "this is deleted" and "this value is not known in this memory cache, fall back to real cache".
This is where this class comes in to play: we'll add an additional "expired" method, which allows BufferedStore to just expire the keys that are supposed to be deleted (instead of deleting them) - then we can keep track of when a key is just not known, or known-but-deleted (=expired)

Methods
- __construct() : mixed
- add() : bool
- Adds an item under new key.
- cas() : bool
- Replaces an item in 1 atomic operation, to ensure it didn't change since it was originally read, when the CAS token was issued.
- decrement() : int|bool
- Decrements a counter value, or sets an initial value if it does not yet exist.
- delete() : bool
- Deletes an item from the cache.
- deleteMulti() : array<string|int, bool>
- Deletes multiple items at once (reduced network traffic compared to individual operations).
- expired() : bool
- Check if a key existed in local storage, but is now expired.
- flush() : bool
- Clears the entire cache.
- get() : mixed|bool
- Retrieves an item from the cache.
- getMulti() : array<string|int, mixed>
- Retrieves multiple items at once.
- increment() : int|bool
- Increments a counter value, or sets an initial value if it does not yet exist.
- replace() : bool
- Replaces an item.
- set() : bool
- Stores a value, regardless of whether or not the key already exists (in which case it will overwrite the existing value for that key).
- setMulti() : array<string|int, bool>
- Store multiple values at once.
- touch() : bool
- Updates an item's expiration time without altering the stored value.
Methods
__construct()
public
__construct([int|string $limit = null ]) : mixed
Parameters
- $limit : int|string = null
-
Memory limit in bytes (defaults to 10% of memory_limit)
add()
Adds an item under new key.
public
add(mixed $key, mixed $value[, mixed $expire = 0 ]) : bool
Parameters
- $key : mixed
- $value : mixed
- $expire : mixed = 0
-
Time when item falls out of the cache: 0 = permanent (doesn't expires); under 2592000 (30 days) = relative time, in seconds from now; over 2592000 = absolute time, unix timestamp
Return values
boolcas()
Replaces an item in 1 atomic operation, to ensure it didn't change since it was originally read, when the CAS token was issued.
public
cas(mixed $token, mixed $key, mixed $value[, mixed $expire = 0 ]) : bool
Parameters
- $token : mixed
-
Token received from get() or getMulti()
- $key : mixed
- $value : mixed
- $expire : mixed = 0
-
Time when item falls out of the cache: 0 = permanent (doesn't expires); under 2592000 (30 days) = relative time, in seconds from now; over 2592000 = absolute time, unix timestamp
Return values
booldecrement()
Decrements a counter value, or sets an initial value if it does not yet exist.
public
decrement(mixed $key[, mixed $offset = 1 ][, mixed $initial = 0 ][, mixed $expire = 0 ]) : int|bool
Parameters
- $key : mixed
- $offset : mixed = 1
-
Value to decrement with
- $initial : mixed = 0
-
Initial value (if item doesn't yet exist)
- $expire : mixed = 0
-
Time when item falls out of the cache: 0 = permanent (doesn't expires); under 2592000 (30 days) = relative time, in seconds from now; over 2592000 = absolute time, unix timestamp
Return values
int|bool —New value or false on failure
delete()
Deletes an item from the cache.
public
delete(mixed $key) : bool
Parameters
- $key : mixed
Return values
booldeleteMulti()
Deletes multiple items at once (reduced network traffic compared to individual operations).
public
deleteMulti(array<string|int, mixed> $keys) : array<string|int, bool>
Parameters
- $keys : array<string|int, mixed>
Return values
array<string|int, bool>expired()
Check if a key existed in local storage, but is now expired.
public
expired(string $key) : bool
Because our local buffer is also just a real cache, expired items will just return nothing, which will lead us to believe no such item exists in that local cache, and we'll reach out to the real cache (where the value may not yet have been expired because that may have been part of an uncommitted write) So we'll want to know when a value is in local cache, but expired!
Parameters
- $key : string
Return values
boolflush()
Clears the entire cache.
public
flush() : bool
Return values
boolget()
Retrieves an item from the cache.
public
get(mixed $key[, mixed &$token = null ]) : mixed|bool
Parameters
- $key : mixed
- $token : mixed = null

Return values
mixed|bool —Value, or false on failure
getMulti()
Retrieves multiple items at once.
public
getMulti(array<string|int, mixed> $keys[, array<string|int, mixed> &$tokens = null ]) : array<string|int, mixed>
Parameters
- $keys : array<string|int, mixed>
- $tokens : array<string|int, mixed> = null
-
Will be filled with the CAS tokens, in [key => token] format
Return values
array<string|int, mixed> —[key => value]
increment()
Increments a counter value, or sets an initial value if it does not yet exist.
