Informations about the package cache
Cache
Caching module for the Toast test framework
Why would a testing framework need caching, you might ask? Well, sometimes a
particular piece of code does something that isn't that easily otherwise checked
(e.g. sending a mail), or if you write
acceptance tests you might need a
way to check if the external server did something correctly. The module is
called cache because it's fully PSR-16 compliant, but you really should think
of it more as a shared pool you can access for temporary storage while running
a test scenario.
Installation
Using composer (recommended)
Manual
- Download or clone the repository somewhere;
- Register
/path/to/cache/srcfor theToast\Cachenamespace in your autoloader.
Initialising a cache pool
Create a new Toast\Cache\Cache object like so:
Alternatively, the cache can also be accessed as a singleton:
This is escpecially handy when sharing throughout tests; although as long as the path stays the same, the cache will reload existing data regardless.
Note that you can instantiate multiple, sandboxed caches using different paths.
Storing and retrieving items in the cache
Anything serializable can be stored in the cache using set or setMultiple:
TTLs
PSR-16 allows cached items to define an optional Time To Live (TTL). Since this does not make any sense in the context of unit testing, the parameter is ignored.
