CI-Caching

Version: 1.0

Wrapper library for CodeIgniter's Cache driver. CI-Caching is based on the Cache Library from Phil Sturgeon (http://philsturgeon.co.uk/code/codeigniter-cache) so you can cache your models and libraries calls.

Requirements

1. PHP 5.2+
2. CodeIgniter 2.0.x and upper
3. APC or Memcached PECL extensions depending on the cache system you are using.

Installation

1. Copy all files to your application folder
2. Edit caching.php file in the config folder to specify your cache preferences. Default adapter is APC.

Usage

// load caching library
$this->load->library('caching');

// cached model call
$this->caching->model('food_model', 'getPlates', array($meal_type)); // keep for 60 seconds (Default)

// cached library call
$this->caching->library('menu', 'menu_endtime', array($supplier_id), 120); // keep for 2 minutes

// cached other data
$this->caching->save('product_id', $data, 120);
$data = $this->caching->get('product_id');

// delete chached data
$this->caching->delete('product_id');

// delete all chached data
$this->caching->clean();

// check if especific adapter is supported
$this->caching->is_supported();
