Basic Usage

Storing Arrays, Objects, and Booleans
You can also store arrays, objects, and booleans.
Handling Cache Hits and Misses
When retrieving data from the cache, you can distinguish between a cache hit and a cache miss by checking if the returned value is null. If the value is null, it indicates that the data is not present in the cache (a cache miss), and you may need to compute or generate the value. If the value is not null, it is a cache hit, and you can use the cached value directly.
Here's an example of how to handle cache hits and misses:
Using Subdirectories as Keys
You can use subdirectories in keys for better organization. Note that keys are sanitized for security purposes, so only certain characters are allowed.
Clearing the Cache
The clear method allows you to remove cached items based on a pattern. This is useful for batch invalidation of cache items.
