Methods

clear()

Wipes clean the entire cache's keys.

public clear() : bool
Return values
bool

True on success and false on failure.

delete()

Delete an item from the cache by its unique key.

public delete(string $key) : bool
Parameters
$key : string

The unique cache key of the item to delete.

Tags
throws
InvalidArgumentException

MUST be thrown if the $key string is not a legal value.

Return values
bool

True if the item was successfully removed. False if there was an error.

deleteMultiple()

Deletes multiple cache items in a single operation.

public deleteMultiple(array<string|int, mixed>|Traversable $keys) : bool
Parameters
$keys : array<string|int, mixed>|Traversable

A list of string-based keys to be deleted.

Tags
throws
InvalidArgumentException

MUST be thrown if $keys is neither an array nor a Traversable, or if any of the $keys are not a legal value.

Return values
bool

True if the item was successfully removed. False if there was an error.

get()

Fetches a value from the cache.

public get(string $key[, mixed $default = null ]) : mixed
Parameters
$key : string

The unique key of this item in the cache.

$default : mixed = null

Default value to return if the key does not exist.

Tags
throws
InvalidArgumentException

MUST be thrown if the $key string is not a legal value.

Return values
mixed

The value of the item from the cache, or $default in case of cache miss.

getMultiple()

Obtains multiple cache items by their unique keys.

public getMultiple(array<string|int, mixed>|Traversable $keys[, mixed $default = null ]) : array<string|int, mixed>|Traversable
Parameters
$keys : array<string|int, mixed>|Traversable

A list of keys that can obtained in a single operation.

$default : mixed = null

Default value to return for keys that do not exist.

Tags
throws
InvalidArgumentException

MUST be thrown if $keys is neither an array nor a Traversable, or if any of the $keys are not a legal value.

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>|Traversable

A list of key => value pairs. Cache keys that do not exist or are stale will have $default as value.

has()

Determines whether an item is present in the cache.

public has(string $key) : bool

NOTE: It is recommended that has() is only to be used for cache warming type purposes and not to be used within your live applications operations for get/set, as this method is subject to a race condition where your has() will return true and immediately after, another script can remove it making the state of your app out of date.

Parameters
$key : string

The cache item key.

Tags
throws
InvalidArgumentException

MUST be thrown if the $key string is not a legal value.

Return values
bool

set()

Persists data in the cache, uniquely referenced by a key with an optional expiration TTL time.

public set(string $key, mixed $value[, null|int|DateInterval $ttl = null ]) : bool
Parameters
$key : string

The key of the item to store.

$value : mixed

The value of the item to store, must be serializable.

$ttl : null|int|DateInterval = null

Optional. The TTL value of this item. If no value is sent and the driver supports TTL then the library may set a default value for it or let the driver take care of that.

Tags
throws
InvalidArgumentException

MUST be thrown if the $key string is not a legal value.

Return values
bool

True on success and false on failure.

setMultiple()

Persists a set of key => value pairs in the cache, with an optional TTL.

public setMultiple(array<string|int, mixed>|Traversable $values[, null|int|DateInterval $ttl = null ]) : bool
Parameters
$values : array<string|int, mixed>|Traversable

A list of key => value pairs for a multiple-set operation.

$ttl : null|int|DateInterval = null

Optional. The TTL value of this item. If no value is sent and the driver supports TTL then the library may set a default value for it or let the driver take care of that.

Tags
throws
InvalidArgumentException

MUST be thrown if $values is neither an array nor a Traversable, or if any of the $values are not a legal value.

Return values
bool

True on success and false on failure.
