A cool real-time cache using static variable that lets you group keys.

🫡 Usage

🚀 Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require nabeghe/mem

Methods Syntax

// Checks if a key exists in a cache group.
Mem::has(mixed $key, mixed $group = 'default'): bool

// Returns the first key of an item that matches the regex.
Mem::match($regex, $group = 'default'): ?string

// Returns items whose keys match the regex.
Mem::matches($regex, $group = 'default'): ?array

// Checks if a group exists.
Mem::hasGroup(mixed $group): bool

// Returns the value of a key from a group.
Mem::get(mixed $key, mixed $group = 'default', mixed $default = null): bool

// Changes the value of a key in a group.
Mem::set(mixed $key, mixed $value, mixed $group = 'default'): bool

// Deletes a key from a group.
Mem::del($key, $group = 'default'): bool

// Deletes items based on key matching with regex.
Mem::delMatches($regex, $group = 'default'): bool

// Returns all storages (groups) and their keys.
Mem::all(): array

// Returns all keys and values of a group.
Mem::group($group = 'default'): Storage

// Returns the number of existing groups.
Mem::groupsCount(): int

// Clears the entire group.
Mem::drop($group = 'default'): bool

// Clears the entire cache.
Mem::reset(): bool

Configuration

The config method is used for configuration, with the first argument being the group name & the second argument as an array to config that group. If the second argument is false or not set, it returns the current config.

The configProp method retrieves a key's value from the config, with the key and group name as parameters.

The default config value is in DEFAULT_CONFIG const.

Currently, there's only one configuration, length_limit, with a default value of -1, which defines the group size. When the item count exceeds this, the first item is removed. -1 means unlimited, also, 0 is currently not useful & should not be used.

Mem::config('default', ['length_limit' => 3]);

Mem::set('item_1', 'value 1');
Mem::set('item_2', 'value 2');
Mem::set('item_3', 'value 3');
Mem::set('item_4', 'value 4');

/*
 * Items in the default group:
 *  [
 *      'item_2' => 'value 2',
 *      'item_3' => 'value 3',
 *      'item_4' => 'value 4'
 *  ]
 */
