Cachalot
========

Cachalot (cache a lot) is an easy to use caching library. It supposed to do the only one thing - return cached callback result.

Installation
------------
Define the following requirement in your composer.json file:
```
"require": {
"ihor/cachalot": "2.3"
}
```

Usage
-----
```php
// With Cachalot cache you can easily cache results of different types of functions
$cache = new \Cachalot\ArrayCache();

// built-in functions
$length = $cache->getCached('strlen', ['hello world']);

// user defined functions
$unique = $cache->getCached('uniqueValues', [[1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3]]);

// static methods
$result = $cache->getCached(['Calculator', 'subtract'], [1, 2]);

// instance methods
$square = $cache->getCached([new Calculator(), 'square'], [5]);

// anonymous functions
$reason = $cache->getCached($getErrorReason, [], \Cachalot\Cache::ONE_DAY, 'error-reason');

// callable objects
$trimed = $cache->getCached(new Trimmer(), [' hello world ']);
```

Reference
---------
### Cache API

##### getCached($callback, array $args = array(), $expireIn = 0, $suffix = null, $useSuffixAsKey = false)

Returns cached $callback result

```$callback``` is the function (callable) which results we want to be cached
```$args``` are the arguments passed to the ```$callback```
```$expireIn``` sets cache TTL in seconds
```$suffix``` is needed to avoid collisions when callback is an anonymous function
```$useSuffixAsKey``` when true cache suffix will be used as a cache key

```php
$length = $cache->getCached('strlen', ['hello world']);
```

To have possibility to use Cachalot as a regular caching library when needed it contains classic cache methods

##### contains($key)

Returns true if cache contains entry with given key

```php
if ($cache->contains('lastVisit')) {
echo 'This is not the first visit';
}
```

##### get($key)

Returns cached value by key or false if there is no cache entry for the given key

```php
if ($lastVisitDate = $cache->get('lastVisit')) {
echo sprintf('Last visit was at %s', $lastVisitDate);
}
```

##### set($key, $value, $expireIn = 0)

Caches value by key. When ```$expireIn = 0``` the value is cached forever

```php
$cache->set('lastVisit', time());
```

##### delete($key)

Deletes cache entry by key

```php
$cache->delete('lastVisit');
```

##### clear()

Deletes all cache entries

```php
$cache->clear();
```
