Installation

The package could be installed with Composer:

Create database connection

For more information see yiisoft/db.

Database Preparing

Package provides two way for preparing database:

  1. Raw SQL. You can use it with the migration package used in your application.

  2. DbSchemaManager for ensureTable(), ensureNoTable() methods for cache table (by default {{%yii_cache}}).

// Create db schema manager
$dbSchemaManager = new DbSchemaManager($db);

// Ensure table with default name
$dbSchemaManager->ensureTable();

// Ensure table with custom name
$dbSchemaManager->ensureTable('{{%custom_cache_table}}');

// Ensure no table with default name
$dbSchemaManager->ensureNoTable();

// Ensure no table with custom name
$dbSchemaManager->ensureNoTable('{{%custom_cache_table}}');

Configuration

When creating an instance of \Yiisoft\Cache\Db\DbCache, you must pass an instance of the database connection.

$cache = new \Yiisoft\Cache\Db\DbCache($db, $table, $gcProbability);
  • $db (\Yiisoft\Db\Connection\ConnectionInterface) - The database connection instance.
  • $table (string) - The name of the database table to store the cache data. Defaults to "cache".
  • $gcProbability (int) - The probability (parts per million) that garbage collection (GC) should be performed when storing a piece of data in the cache. Defaults to 100, meaning 0.01% chance. This number should be between 0 and 1000000. A value 0 meaning no GC will be performed at all.

General usage

The package does not contain any additional functionality for interacting with the cache, except those defined in the PSR-16 interface.

$cache = new \Yiisoft\Cache\Db\DbCache($db);
$parameters = ['user_id' => 42];
$key = 'demo';

// try retrieving $data from cache
$data = $cache->get($key);

if ($data === null) {
 // $data is not found in cache, calculate it from scratch
 $data = calculateData($parameters);
 
 // store $data in cache for an hour so that it can be retrieved next time
 $cache->set($key, $data, 3600);
}

// $data is available here

In order to delete value you can use:

$cache->delete($key);
// Or all cache
$cache->clear();

To work with values in a more efficient manner, batch operations should be used:

  • getMultiple()
  • setMultiple()
  • deleteMultiple()

This package can be used as a cache handler for the Yii Caching Library.

Additional logging

In order to log details about failures you may set a logger instance. It should be Psr\Log\LoggerInterface::class. For example, you can use yiisoft\Log:

$cache = new \Yiisoft\Cache\Db\DbCache($db, $table, $gcProbability);
$cache->setLogger(new \Yiisoft\Log\Logger());

This allows you to log cache operations, when ocurring errors, etc.
