Drupal Cache Adapter

Provides a Symfony Cache adapter to Drupal cache system.

It's useful when a third-party library requires a php-cache style adapter to cache data but you want to pipe the cachig process through the Drupal cache API.

A good example is https://github.com/KnpLabs/php-github-api, a library that is querying the GitHub API. Calls to GitHub might be cached but the library requires a php-cache adapter. You can use the DrupalAdapter provided by this package, to route the cache write/read via Drupal caching API. See https://github.com/KnpLabs/php-github-api/blob/master/doc/caching.md.

Install

Use composer:

composer require claudiu-cristea/drupal-cache-adapter

Usage

<?php

use Drupal\Cache\Adapter\DrupalAdapter;
use ThirdParty\Library\Client;

class SomeService {

  public function doSomething() {
    ...
    $client = new Client(...);
    $adapter = new DrupalAdapter(\Drupal::service('cache.data'), 'some-prefix');
    $client->addCacheBackend($adapter);
    $client->fetch();
    ...
  }

}
