Object & class-level in-memory caching

Installation

composer require tonybogdanov/memoize:^2.0

Usage

Per-Object Memoization

class ClassUsingCaching {
    use \TonyBogdanov\Memoize\Traits\MemoizeTrait;

    public function getObjectLevelCachedThing() {
        return $this->memoize( __METHOD__, function () {
            return 'thing'; // heavy code that needs to run only once per object instance.
        } );
    }
}

You can also manually remove memoized values:

$object->unmemoize( 'key' );

You can even check if a memoized value exists without retrieving it (even if it's null):

$object->isMemoized( 'key' );

Per-Class Memoization

class ClassUsingCaching {
    use \TonyBogdanov\Memoize\Traits\MemoizeTrait;

    public static function getClassLevelCachedThing() {
        return static::memoizeStatic( __METHOD__, function () {
            return 'thing'; // heavy code that needs to run only once per class.
        } );
    }
}

You can also manually remove memoized values:

StaticClass::unmemoizeStatic( 'key' );

You can even check if a memoized value exists without retrieving it (even if it's null):

StaticClass::isMemoizedStatic( 'key' );

Foreign Objects

As of 2.3 you can access and manage the memoized values of foreign objects / classes as well.

// per-object
$this->memoizeForeign( $object, 'key', 'value' );
$this->unmemoizeForeign( $object, 'key' );
$this->isMemoizedForeign( $object, 'key' );

// per-class
StaticClass::memoizeStaticForeign( AnotherStaticClass::class, 'key', 'value' );
StaticClass::unmemoizeStaticForeign( AnotherStaticClass::class, 'key' );
StaticClass::isMemoizedStaticForeign( AnotherStaticClass::class, 'key' );

Toggle Memoization

You can toggle memoization globally, which can be useful for testing:

Memoize::enable();
Memoize::disable();
