Class yii\mongodb\Cache

Inheritanceyii\mongodb\Cache » yii\caching\Cache
Available since version2.0

Cache implements a cache application component by storing cached data in a MongoDB.

By default, Cache stores session data in a MongoDB collection named 'cache' inside the default database. This collection is better to be pre-created with fields 'id' and 'expire' indexed. The collection name can be changed by setting $cacheCollection.

Please refer to \yii\caching\Cache for common cache operations that are supported by Cache.

The following example shows how you can configure the application to use Cache:

'cache' => [
    'class' => 'yii\mongodb\Cache',
    // 'db' => 'mymongodb',
    // 'cacheCollection' => 'my_cache',
]

Property Details

$cacheCollection public property

The name of the MongoDB collection that stores the cache data. Please refer to yii\mongodb\Connection::getCollection() on how to specify this parameter. This collection is better to be pre-created with fields 'id' and 'expire' indexed.

public string|array $cacheCollection 'cache'
$db public property

The MongoDB connection object or the application component ID of the MongoDB connection. After the Cache object is created, if you want to change this property, you should only assign it with a MongoDB connection object. Starting from version 2.0.2, this can also be a configuration array for creating the object.

$gcProbability public property

The probability (parts per million) that garbage collection (GC) should be performed when storing a piece of data in the cache. Defaults to 100, meaning 0.01% chance. This number should be between 0 and 1000000. A value 0 meaning no GC will be performed at all.

public integer $gcProbability 100

Method Details

addValue() protected method

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

This method should be implemented by child classes to store the data in specific cache storage.

protected boolean addValue ( $key, $value, $expire )
$key string

The key identifying the value to be cached

$value string

The value to be cached

$expire integer

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

return boolean

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

deleteValue() protected method

Deletes a value with the specified key from cache This method should be implemented by child classes to delete the data from actual cache storage.

protected boolean deleteValue ( $key )
$key string

The key of the value to be deleted

return boolean

If no error happens during deletion

flushValues() protected method

Deletes all values from cache.

Child classes may implement this method to realize the flush operation.

protected boolean flushValues ( )
return boolean

Whether the flush operation was successful.

gc() public method

Removes the expired data values.

public void gc ( $force false )
$force boolean

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

getValue() protected method

Retrieves a value from cache with a specified key.

This method should be implemented by child classes to retrieve the data from specific cache storage.

protected string|boolean getValue ( $key )
$key string

A unique key identifying the cached value

return string|boolean

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

init() public method

Initializes the Cache component.

This method will initialize the $db property to make sure it refers to a valid MongoDB connection.

public void init ( )
throws \yii\base\InvalidConfigException

if $db is invalid.

setValue() protected method

Stores a value identified by a key in cache.

This method should be implemented by child classes to store the data in specific cache storage.

protected boolean setValue ( $key, $value, $expire )
$key string

The key identifying the value to be cached

$value string

The value to be cached

$expire integer

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

return boolean

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