# Cache Packer

This repository contains a PHP class that allows to optimize the cacheable arrays in order to optimize the required memory consumption.

[TOC]

## Installation

You can install the package via composer:

```bash
$ composer require alcidesrc/cache
```

## How It Works

In many scenarios we are caching structured information (generally coming from database). Each row from this structure has the same schema than the previous row, and the same schema than the next one.

When serializing this kind of structures prior to cache the column names are stored again and again as many times as rows are contained, consuming resources to track an information is not mutable and predictable at all.

The Packer class brings a static method called `pack` which allows to create a new structure with the following schema:

```php
$packed = [
'keys' => ['column-name-1', 'column-name-2', ..., 'column-name-z'],
'data' => [
[
'row-1-value-1',
'row-1-value-2',
...
'rown-1-value-z'
],
[
'row-n-value-1',
'row-n-value-2',
...
'rown-n-value-z'
],
],
];
```

> This optimized schema can now be cached and reduce a 25% of memory consumptions in average for large datasets. See Statistics section for further details.

To revert this schema to the original structure the Packer class also brings a static method called `unpack` which restores the schema to initial stage.

### Example

#### Source Dataset

```php
// $users = DB::table('users')->get()
$users = [
[
'id' => 1,
'firstName' => 'Hope',
'lastName' => 'Pacocha',
'email' => '[email protected]',
'address' => '1939 Julio Shore. Zboncakland, HI 21531-7243',
'city' => 'Lethatown',
'postcode' => '84445-4109',
'country' => 'Niger',
],
[
'id' => 2,
'firstName' => 'Lyric',
'lastName' => 'Parker',
'email' => '[email protected]',
'address' => '25071 Jacklyn Dam Suite 215. Lake Alexannemouth, IL 77929-0777',
'city' => 'Port Yvetteville',
'postcode' => '00537',
'country' => 'French Southern Territories',
],
];
```

#### Direct Serialization

```php
a:2:{i:0;a:8:{s:2:"id";i:1;s:9:"firstName";s:4:"Hope";s:8:"lastName";s:7:"Pacocha";s:5:"email";s:19:"[email protected]";s:7:"address";s:43:"1939 Julio Shore

```

#### Serialization with Packer

```php
a:2:{s:4:"keys";a:8:{i:0;s:2:"id";i:1;s:9:"firstName";i:2;s:8:"lastName";i:3;s:5:"email";i:4;s:7:"address";i:5;s:4:"city";i:6;s:8:"postcode";i:7;s:7:"country";}s:4:"data";a:2:{i:0;a:8:{i:0;i:1;i:1;s:4:"Hope";i:2;s:7:"Pacocha";i:3;s:19:"[email protected]";i:4;s:43:"1939 Julio Shore
Zboncakland, HI 21531-7243";i:5;s:9:"Lethatown";i:6;s:10:"84445-4109";i:7;s:5:"Niger";}i:1;a:8:{i:0;i:2;i:1;s:5:"Lyric";i:2;s:6:"Parker";i:3;s:31:"[email protected]";i:4;s:61:"25071 Jacklyn Dam Suite 215
Lake Alexannemouth, IL 77929-0777";i:5;s:16:"Port Yvetteville";i:6;s:5:"00537";i:7;s:27:"French Southern Territories";}}}
```

##### Unserialization

```php
[
'keys' => ['id', 'firstName', 'lastName', 'email', 'address', 'city', 'postcode', 'country'],
'data' => [
[
1,
'Hope',
'Pacocha',
'[email protected]',
'1939 Julio Shore. Zboncakland, HI 21531-7243',
'Lethatown',
'84445-4109',
'Niger',
],
[
2,
'Lyric',
'Parker',
'[email protected]',
'25071 Jacklyn Dam Suite 215. Lake Alexannemouth, IL 77929-0777',
'Port Yvetteville',
'00537',
'French Southern Territories',
],
],
];
```
