# Flexihash

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/pda/flexihash.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/pda/flexihash) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/pda/flexihash/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/pda/flexihash?branch=master)

Flexihash is a small PHP library which implements [consistent hashing](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_hashing), which is most useful in distributed caching. It requires PHP5 and uses [PHPUnit](http://simpletest.org/) for unit testing.

## Installation

[Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) is the recommended installation technique. You can find flexihash on [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/flexihash/flexihash) so installation is as easy as

```

composer require flexihash/flexihash

```

or in your `composer.json`

```json

{

    "require": {

        "flexihash/flexihash": "^3.0.0"

    }

}

```

## Usage

```php

$hash = new Flexihash();

// bulk add

$hash->addTargets(['cache-1', 'cache-2', 'cache-3']);

// simple lookup

$hash->lookup('object-a'); // "cache-1"

$hash->lookup('object-b'); // "cache-2"

// add and remove

$hash

  ->addTarget('cache-4')

  ->removeTarget('cache-1');

// lookup with next-best fallback (for redundant writes)

$hash->lookupList('object', 2); // ["cache-2", "cache-4"]

// remove cache-2, expect object to hash to cache-4

$hash->removeTarget('cache-2');

$hash->lookup('object'); // "cache-4"

```
