Soflomo\Cache

Soflomo\Cache is a command line utility for cache management in Zend Framework 2. It enables you to manage your Zend\Cache instances from the commandline, including:

1. Printing a list of all available cache services
2. Get the status (total space, available space) of all services
3. Flush the complete cache instance
4. Clear the cache by expired items
5. Clear the cache by namespace
6. Clear the cache by prefix
7. Removing ZF2 application caches: the merged config and module map files

Installation

Soflomo\Cache works with Composer. Make sure you have the composer.phar downloaded and you have a composer.json file at the root of your project. To install it, add the following line into your composer.json file:

"require": {
    "soflomo/cache": "~0.2"
}

After installation of the package, you need to enable the module by adding Soflomo\Cache to your application.config.php file.

Requirements

1. Zend Framework 2: the Zend\Cache component
2. Zend Framework 2: the Zend\Mvc component

Configuration

Soflomo\Cache scans automatically the list of available caches from the caches key in the configuration. This key serves to define your caches as service. If you want to use this key, you must register the cache as abstract factory:

'service_manager' => array(
    'abstract_factories' => array(
        'Zend\Cache\Service\StorageCacheAbstractServiceFactory',
    ),
),

With Soflomo\Cache you are not forced to use the cache abstract factory. The only prerequisite is the cache must be available as a service. You can register your own cache service using e.g. the service manager. For these self-defined caches you cannot use the --list and --status --all commands and you are required to supply the service name of the cache.

Usage

Typing php public/index.php will show you a list of all available commands in your application, including all Soflomo\Cache commands.

List all available caches

php public/index.php cache --list

NB. You have to define your caches using the abstract factory.

Get the cache status

php public/index.php cache --status

If you have only one cache defined, this cache is picked. For more than one cache, you will get to choose which cache's status must be printed.

When your cache is defined without using the abstract factory, you must supply the cache name:

php public/index.php cache --status MyCacheServiceName

All cache statuses are listed with --all:

php public/index.php cache --status --all

Note with the --all only caches from the abstract factory are listed.

Flush the cache

php public/index.php cache --flush

If you have only one cache defined, this cache is picked. For more than one cache, you will get to choose which cache's status must be printed.

When your cache is defined without using the abstract factory, you must supply the cache name:

php public/index.php cache --flush MyCacheServiceName

All clearing operations, including --flush will require confirmation via the prompt. Using the command non-interactively, you can use the --force or -f flag:

php public/index.php cache --flush --force

Clear all expired items

php public/index.php cache --clear --expired

If you have only one cache defined, this cache is picked. For more than one cache, you will get to choose which cache's status must be printed.

When your cache is defined without using the abstract factory, you must supply the cache name:

php public/index.php cache --clear MyCacheServiceName --expired

All clearing operations, including --clear --expired will require confirmation via the prompt. Using the command non-interactively, you can use the --force or -f flag:

php public/index.php cache --clear --expired --force

Clear items by namespace

php public/index.php cache --clear --by-namespace=MyNamespace

If you have only one cache defined, this cache is picked. For more than one cache, you will get to choose which cache's status must be printed.

When your cache is defined without using the abstract factory, you must supply the cache name:

php public/index.php cache --clear MyCacheServiceName --by-namespace=MyNamespace

All clearing operations, including --clear --by-namespace=MyNamespace will require confirmation via the prompt. Using the command non-interactively, you can use the --force or -f flag:

php public/index.php cache --clear --force --by-namespace=MyNamespace

Clear items by prefix

php public/index.php cache --clear --by-prefix=MyPrefix

If you have only one cache defined, this cache is picked. For more than one cache, you will get to choose which cache's status must be printed.

When your cache is defined without using the abstract factory, you must supply the cache name:

php public/index.php cache --clear MyCacheServiceName --by-prefix=MyPrefix

All clearing operations, including --clear --by-prefix=MyPrefix will require confirmation via the prompt. Using the command non-interactively, you can use the --force or -f flag:

php public/index.php cache --clear --force --by-prefix=MyPrefix

Clear the ZF2 application's config cache

php public/index.php cache --clear-config

Clear the ZF2 application's module map

php public/index.php cache --module-map

Clearing opcode cache

At this moment, it is not possible to clear the opcode cache. The opcode caches of CLI and PHP-FPM are not shared and as such, you cannot control the cache from PHP-FPM with the CLI.

Like the Symfony ApcBundle it is required to create a file in the web directory and call that file via HTTP. Then the file itself can clear the PHP-FPM opcode cache. You can track the progress of this feature in the issue #2.
