FileCache extends Cache
in package

FileCache implements a cache component using files.

For each data value being cached, FileCache will store it in a separate file. The cache files are placed under [[cachePath]]. FileCache will perform garbage collection automatically to remove expired cache files.

Please refer to [[Cache]] for common cache operations that are supported by FileCache.

For more details and usage information on Cache, see the guide article on caching.

Properties

$behaviors read-only

public array<string|int, Behavior> $behaviors

List of behaviors attached to this component.

$cacheFileSuffix

public string $cacheFileSuffix = '.bin'

cache file suffix. Defaults to '.bin'.

$cachePath

public string $cachePath = '@runtime/cache'

the directory to store cache files. You may use path alias here. If not set, it will use the "cache" subdirectory under the application runtime path.

$defaultDuration

public int $defaultDuration = 0

default duration in seconds before a cache entry will expire. Default value is 0, meaning infinity. This value is used by [[set()]] if the duration is not explicitly given.

Tags
since
2.0.11

$directoryLevel

public int $directoryLevel = 1

the level of sub-directories to store cache files. Defaults to 1. If the system has huge number of cache files (e.g. one million), you may use a bigger value (usually no bigger than 3). Using sub-directories is mainly to ensure the file system is not over burdened with a single directory having too many files.

$dirMode

public int $dirMode = 0775

the permission to be set for newly created directories. This value will be used by PHP chmod() function. No umask will be applied. Defaults to 0775, meaning the directory is read-writable by owner and group, but read-only for other users.

$fileMode

public int|null $fileMode

the permission to be set for newly created cache files. This value will be used by PHP chmod() function. No umask will be applied. If not set, the permission will be determined by the current environment.

$gcProbability

public int $gcProbability = 10

the probability (parts per million) that garbage collection (GC) should be performed when storing a piece of data in the cache. Defaults to 10, meaning 0.001% chance. This number should be between 0 and 1000000. A value 0 means no GC will be performed at all.

$keyPrefix

public string $keyPrefix = ''

a string prefixed to every cache key. This is needed when you store cache data under the same [[cachePath]] for different applications to avoid conflict.

To ensure interoperability, only alphanumeric characters should be used.

$serializer

public array<string|int, mixed>|null|false $serializer

the functions used to serialize and unserialize cached data. Defaults to null, meaning using the default PHP serialize() and unserialize() functions. If you want to use some more efficient serializer (e.g. igbinary), you may configure this property with a two-element array. The first element specifies the serialization function, and the second the deserialization function. If this property is set false, data will be directly sent to and retrieved from the underlying cache component without any serialization or deserialization. You should not turn off serialization if you are using [[Dependency|cache dependency]], because it relies on data serialization. Also, some implementations of the cache can not correctly save and retrieve data different from a string type.

$_behaviors

private array<string|int, Behavior>|null $_behaviors

the attached behaviors (behavior name => behavior). This is null when not initialized.

$_events

private array<string|int, mixed> $_events = []

the attached event handlers (event name => handlers)

$_eventWildcards

private array<string|int, mixed> $_eventWildcards = []

the event handlers attached for wildcard patterns (event name wildcard => handlers)

Parameters
$name : string

the name of the behavior.

$behavior : string|array<string|int, mixed>|Behavior

the behavior configuration. This can be one of the following:

  • a [[Behavior]] object

detachBehavior()
Return values
Behavior

the behavior object

attachBehaviors()

Attaches a list of behaviors to the component.

public attachBehaviors(array<string|int, mixed> $behaviors) : mixed

Each behavior is indexed by its name and should be a [[Behavior]] object, a string specifying the behavior class, or an configuration array for creating the behavior.

Parameters
$behaviors : array<string|int, mixed>

list of behaviors to be attached to the component

Tags
see
attachBehavior()

behaviors()

Returns a list of behaviors that this component should behave as.

public behaviors() : array<string|int, mixed>

Child classes may override this method to specify the behaviors they want to behave as.

The return value of this method should be an array of behavior objects or configurations indexed by behavior names. A behavior configuration can be either a string specifying the behavior class or an array of the following structure:

'behaviorName' => [
    'class' => 'BehaviorClass',
    'property1' => 'value1',
    'property2' => 'value2',
]

Note that a behavior class must extend from [[Behavior]]. Behaviors can be attached using a name or anonymously. When a name is used as the array key, using this name, the behavior can later be retrieved using [[getBehavior()]] or be detached using [[detachBehavior()]]. Anonymous behaviors can not be retrieved or detached.

Behaviors declared in this method will be attached to the component automatically (on demand).

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

the behavior configurations.

buildKey()

Builds a normalized cache key from a given key.

public buildKey(mixed $key) : string

If the given key is a string containing alphanumeric characters only and no more than 32 characters, then the key will be returned back prefixed with [[keyPrefix]]. Otherwise, a normalized key is generated by serializing the given key, applying MD5 hashing, and prefixing with [[keyPrefix]].

Parameters
$key : mixed

the key to be normalized

Return values
string

the generated cache key

canGetProperty()

  • the class has a member variable with the specified name (when $checkVars is true);
  • an attached behavior has a readable property of the given name (when $checkBehaviors is true).
Parameters
$name : string

detachBehavior()

Detaches a behavior from the component.

public detachBehavior(string $name) : Behavior|null

The behavior's [[Behavior::detach()]] method will be invoked.

Parameters

the behavior's name.

Return values
Behavior|null

the detached behavior. Null if the behavior does not exist.

detachBehaviors()

Detaches all behaviors from the component.

public detachBehaviors() : mixed

ensureBehaviors()

Makes sure that the behaviors declared in [[behaviors()]] are attached to this component.

public ensureBehaviors() : mixed

exists()

Checks whether a specified key exists in the cache.

public exists(mixed $key) : bool

This can be faster than getting the value from the cache if the data is big. Note that this method does not check whether the dependency associated with the cached data, if there is any, has changed. So a call to [[get]] may return false while exists returns true.

Parameters
$key : mixed

a key identifying the cached value. This can be a simple string or a complex data structure consisting of factors representing the key.

Return values
bool

true if a value exists in cache, false if the value is not in the cache or expired.

flush()

Deletes all values from cache.

public flush() : bool

Be careful of performing this operation if the cache is shared among multiple applications.

Return values
bool

whether the flush operation was successful.

gc()

Removes expired cache files.

public gc([bool $force = false ][, bool $expiredOnly = true ]) : mixed
Parameters
$force : bool = false

whether to enforce the garbage collection regardless of [[gcProbability]]. Defaults to false, meaning the actual deletion happens with the probability as specified by [[gcProbability]].

$expiredOnly : bool = true

whether to removed expired cache files only. If false, all cache files under [[cachePath]] will be removed.

get()

Retrieves a value from cache with a specified key.

public get(mixed $key) : mixed
Parameters
$key : mixed

a key identifying the cached value. This can be a simple string or a complex data structure consisting of factors representing the key.

Return values
mixed

the value stored in cache, false if the value is not in the cache, expired, or the dependency associated with the cached data has changed.

getBehavior()

Returns the named behavior object.

public getBehavior(string $name) : Behavior|null
Parameters
$name : string

the behavior name

Return values
Behavior|null

the behavior object, or null if the behavior does not exist

getBehaviors()

Returns all behaviors attached to this component.

public getBehaviors() : array<string|int, Behavior>
Return values
array<string|int, Behavior>

list of behaviors attached to this component

getOrSet()

Method combines both [[set()]] and [[get()]] methods to retrieve value identified by a $key, or to store the result of $callable execution if there is no cache available for the $key.

public getOrSet(mixed $key, callable|Closure $callable[, int|null $duration = null ][, Dependency|null $dependency = null ]) : mixed

Usage example:

public function getTopProducts($count = 10) {
    $cache = $this->cache; // Could be Yii::$app->cache
    return $cache->getOrSet(['top-n-products', 'n' => $count], function () use ($count) {
        return Products::find()->mostPopular()->limit($count)->all();
    }, 1000);
}
Parameters
$key : mixed

a key identifying the value to be cached. This can be a simple string or a complex data structure consisting of factors representing the key.

$callable : callable|Closure

the callable or closure that will be used to generate a value to be cached. If you use $callable that can return false, then keep in mind that [[getOrSet()]] may work inefficiently because the [[yii\caching\Cache::get()]] method uses false return value to indicate the data item is not found in the cache. Thus, caching of false value will lead to unnecessary internal calls.

$duration : int|null = null

default duration in seconds before the cache will expire. If not set, [[defaultDuration]] value will be used.

$dependency : Dependency|null = null

dependency of the cached item. If the dependency changes, the corresponding value in the cache will be invalidated when it is fetched via [[get()]]. This parameter is ignored if [[serializer]] is false.

on()

Attaches an event handler to an event.

public on(string $name, callable $handler[, mixed $data = null ][, bool $append = true ]) : mixed

The event handler must be a valid PHP callback. The following are some examples:

function ($event) { ... }         // anonymous function
[$object, 'handleClick']          // $object->handleClick()
['Page', 'handleClick']           // Page::handleClick()
'handleClick'                     // global function handleClick()

The event handler must be defined with the following signature,

function ($event)

where $event is an [[Event]] object which includes parameters associated with the event.

Since 2.0.14 you can specify event name as a wildcard pattern:

$component->on('event.group.*', function ($event) {
    Yii::trace($event->name . ' is triggered.');
});
Parameters
$name : string

the event name

$handler : callable

the event handler

$data : mixed = null

the data to be passed to the event handler when the event is triggered. When the event handler is invoked, this data can be accessed via [[Event::data]].

$append : bool = true

whether to append new event handler to the end of the existing handler list. If false, the new handler will be inserted at the beginning of the existing handler list.

off()

set()

Stores a value identified by a key into cache.

public set(mixed $key, mixed $value[, int|null $duration = null ][, Dependency|null $dependency = null ]) : bool

If the cache already contains such a key, the existing value and expiration time will be replaced with the new ones, respectively.

Parameters
$key : mixed

a key identifying the value to be cached. This can be a simple string or a complex data structure consisting of factors representing the key.

$value : mixed

the value to be cached

$duration : int|null = null

default duration in seconds before the cache will expire. If not set, default [[defaultDuration]] value is used.

$dependency : Dependency|null = null

dependency of the cached item. If the dependency changes, the corresponding value in the cache will be invalidated when it is fetched via [[get()]]. This parameter is ignored if [[serializer]] is false.

Return values
bool

whether the value is successfully stored into cache

trigger()

Triggers an event.

public trigger(string $name[, Event|null $event = null ]) : mixed

This method represents the happening of an event. It invokes all attached handlers for the event including class-level handlers.

Parameters
$name : string

the event name

$event : Event|null = null

the event instance. If not set, a default [[Event]] object will be created.

addValue()

Stores a value identified by a key into cache if the cache does not contain this key.

protected addValue(string $key, string $value, int $duration) : bool

This is the implementation of the method declared in the parent class.

Parameters
$key : string

the key identifying the value to be cached

$value : string

the value to be cached. Other types (if you have disabled [[serializer]]) unable to get is correct in [[getValue()]].

$duration : int

the number of seconds in which the cached value will expire. 0 means never expire.

Return values
bool

true if the value is successfully stored into cache, false otherwise

addValues()

Adds multiple key-value pairs to cache.

protected addValues(array<string|int, mixed> $data, int $duration) : array<string|int, mixed>

The default implementation calls [[addValue()]] multiple times add values one by one. If the underlying cache storage supports multi-add, this method should be overridden to exploit that feature.

Parameters
$data : array<string|int, mixed>

array where key corresponds to cache key while value is the value stored.

$duration : int

the number of seconds in which the cached values will expire. 0 means never expire.

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

array of failed keys

deleteValue()

Deletes a value with the specified key from cache This is the implementation of the method declared in the parent class.

protected deleteValue(string $key) : bool
Parameters
$key : string

the key of the value to be deleted

Return values
bool

if no error happens during deletion

flushValues()

Deletes all values from cache.

protected flushValues() : bool

This is the implementation of the method declared in the parent class.

Return values
bool

whether the flush operation was successful.

gcRecursive()

Recursively removing expired cache files under a directory.

protected gcRecursive(string $path, bool $expiredOnly) : mixed

This method is mainly used by [[gc()]].

Parameters
$path : string

the directory under which expired cache files are removed.

$expiredOnly : bool

whether to only remove expired cache files. If false, all files under $path will be removed.

getCacheFile()

Returns the cache file path given the normalized cache key.

protected getCacheFile(string $normalizedKey) : string
Parameters
$normalizedKey : string

normalized cache key by [[buildKey]] method

Return values
string

the cache file path

getValue()

Retrieves a value from cache with a specified key.

protected getValue(string $key) : string|false

This is the implementation of the method declared in the parent class.

Parameters
$key : string

a unique key identifying the cached value

Return values
string|false

the value stored in cache, false if the value is not in the cache or expired.

getValues()

Retrieves multiple values from cache with the specified keys.

protected getValues(array<string|int, mixed> $keys) : array<string|int, mixed>

The default implementation calls [[getValue()]] multiple times to retrieve the cached values one by one. If the underlying cache storage supports multiget, this method should be overridden to exploit that feature.

Parameters
$keys : array<string|int, mixed>

a list of keys identifying the cached values

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

a list of cached values indexed by the keys

setValue()

Stores a value identified by a key in cache.

protected setValue(string $key, string $value, int $duration) : bool

This is the implementation of the method declared in the parent class.

Parameters
$key : string

the key identifying the value to be cached

$value : string

the value to be cached. Other types (If you have disabled [[serializer]]) unable to get is correct in [[getValue()]].

$duration : int

the number of seconds in which the cached value will expire. Fewer than or equal to 0 means 1 year expiration time.

Return values
bool

true if the value is successfully stored into cache, false otherwise

setValues()

Stores multiple key-value pairs in cache.

protected setValues(array<string|int, mixed> $data, int $duration) : array<string|int, mixed>

The default implementation calls [[setValue()]] multiple times store values one by one. If the underlying cache storage supports multi-set, this method should be overridden to exploit that feature.

Parameters
$data : array<string|int, mixed>

array where key corresponds to cache key while value is the value stored

$duration : int

the number of seconds in which the cached values will expire. 0 means never expire.

Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

array of failed keys

attachBehaviorInternal()

Attaches a behavior to this component.

private attachBehaviorInternal(string|int $name, string|array<string|int, mixed>|Behavior $behavior) : Behavior
Parameters
$name : string|int

the name of the behavior. If this is an integer, it means the behavior is an anonymous one. Otherwise, the behavior is a named one and any existing behavior with the same name will be detached first.

$behavior : string|array<string|int, mixed>|Behavior

the behavior to be attached

Return values
Behavior

the attached behavior.

prepareCacheData()

Prepares data for caching by serializing values and evaluating dependencies.
