This CakePHP plugin provides some additional cache engines that can be used by CakePHP.
We currently provide three cache engines:
- RedisTreeCacheEngine: Redis based cache that supports managing keys using wildcards and cache key 'parents'.
- FileTreeCacheEngine: Local filesystem based cache that supports managing keys using wildcards and cache key 'parents'.
- FallBackCacheEngine: Allows you to define two cache engines; the first engine is used as the primary cache engine. The second cache engine is used only if the primary fails.
##Installation
$ cd /path/to/cake/application/app
$ composer require traackr/cache-engines
$ composer update##Configuring the Engines
To configure and use these cache engines, simply specify the cache engine name in the appropriate configuration file
(this is typically app/Config/bootstrap.php, c.f., CakePHP cache configuration documentation). The
RedisTreeeEngine and FileTreeEngine take the same arguments as the RedisEngine and FileEngine that ship with
CakePHP:
Cache::config("post_data", array(
'engine' => 'RedisTree',
'server' => 'redis-server',
'port' => 6379,
'duration' => 300,
'prefix' => 'posts:'
));
FallbackEngine expects a configuration for the primary and secondary engines:
Cache::config("post_data", array(
'engine' => 'Fallback',
'name' => "post_data",
'primary' => array(
'profile' => '2.8', // optional, if you want to hardcode a predis profile to use
'engine' => 'RedisTree',
'server' => 'redis-server',
'port' => 6379,
'duration' => 300,
'prefix' => 'posts:'
),
'secondary' => array(
// alternate cache if Redis fails
'engine' => 'FileTree',
'path' => CACHE.'/data/',
'duration' => 300
)
));
