This package uses the PHP [Windows Cache](https://sourceforge.net/projects/wincache/)
(see also [Windows Cache for PHP](https://www.php.net/manual/book.wincache.php)) extension and implements
[PSR-16](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-16/) cache.
## Requirements
- PHP 7.4.
- `WinCache` PHP extension.
## Installation
The package could be installed with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):
```shell
composer require yiisoft/cache-wincache
```
## General usage
The package does not contain any additional functionality for interacting with the cache,
except those defined in the [PSR-16](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-16/) interface.
```php
$cache = new \Yiisoft\Cache\WinCache\WinCache();
$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:
```php
$cache->delete($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](https://github.com/yiisoft/cache).
