    array

    Runtime config

  • bool

    Whether the config property has already been configured with defaults

    array

    The default cache configuration is overridden in most cache adapters. These are the keys that are common to all adapters. If overridden, this property is not used.

get() abstract public

get(mixed $key, mixed $default)

Fetches the value for a given key from the cache.

$this->getConfig('some-key', 'default-value');

The return value when the key does not exist.

Returns

mixed

Configuration data at the named key or null if the key does not exist.

getConfigOrFail() public

getConfigOrFail(string $key)

Determines whether an item is present in the cache.

NOTE: It is recommended that has() is only to be used for cache warming type purposes and not to be used within your live applications operations for get/set, as this method is subject to a race condition where your has() will return true and immediately after, another script can remove it making the state of your app out of date.

array

$_configInitialized protected

Whether the config property has already been configured with defaults

bool

  • warnOnWriteFailures Some engines, such as ApcuEngine, may raise warnings on write failures.
