Caching

File system I/O is slow, so Flysystem uses cached file system meta-data to boost performance. When your application needs to scale you can also choose to use a (shared) persistent caching solution for this. Or enable a per request caching (recommended).

Installing the adapter cache decorator

composer require league/flysystem-cached-adapter

This package supplies an Adapter decorator which acts as a caching proxy.

The CachedAdapter (the decorator) caches anything but the file contents. This keeps the cache small enough to be beneficial and covers all the file system inspection operations.

Memory Caching

The easiest way to boost the performance of Flysystem is to add Memory caching. This type of caching will cache everything in the lifetime of the current process (cli-job or http-request). Setting it up is easy:

use League\Flysystem\Filesystem;
use League\Flysystem\Adapter\Local as Adapter;
use League\Flysystem\Cached\CachedAdapter;
use League\Flysystem\Cached\Storage\Memory as CacheStore;

// Create the adapter
$localAdapter = new Local('/path/to/root');

// Create the cache store
$cacheStore = new CacheStore();

// Decorate the adapter
$adapter = new CachedAdapter($localAdapter, $cacheStore);

// And use that to create the file system
$filesystem = new Filesystem($adapter);

You can now use the file system as you would have before, but caching will be done for you on the fly.

Persistent Caching

The following examples demonstrate how you can setup persistent meta-data caching:

Predis Caching Setup

use League\Flysystem\Filesystem;
use League\Flysystem\Adapter\Local as Adapter;
use League\Flysystem\Cached\CachedAdapter;
use League\Flysystem\Cached\Storage\Predis as Cache;

$adapter = new CachedAdapter(new Adapter(__DIR__.'/path/to/root'), new Cache);
$filesystem = new Filesystem($adapter);

// Or supply a client
$client = new Predis\Client;
$adapter = new CachedAdapter(new Adapter(__DIR__.'/path/to/root'), new Cache($client));
$filesystem = new Filesystem($adapter);

Memcached Caching Setup

use League\Flysystem\Filesystem;
use League\Flysystem\Adapter\Local as Adapter;
use League\Flysystem\Cached\CachedAdapter;
use League\Flysystem\Cached\Storage\Memcached as Cache;

$memcached = new Memcached;
$memcached->addServer('localhost', 11211);

$adapter = new CachedAdapter(
    new Adapter(__DIR__.'/path/to/root'),
    new Cache($memcached, 'storageKey', 300)
);
$filesystem = new Filesystem($adapter);
// Storage Key and expire time are optional

Adapter Caching Setup

use Dropbox\Client;
use League\Flysystem\Filesystem;
use League\Flysystem\Adapter\Dropbox;
use League\Flysystem\Adapter\Local;
use League\Flysystem\Cached\CachedAdapter;
use League\Flysystem\Cached\Storage\Adapter;

$client = new Client('token', 'app');
$dropbox = new Dropbox($client, 'prefix');

$local = new Local('path');
$cache = new Adapter($local, 'file', 300);
$adapter = new CachedAdapter($dropbox, $cache);
$filesystem = new Filesystem($adapter);

Stash Caching Setup

use Stash\Pool;
use League\Flysystem\Adapter\Local as Adapter;
use League\Flysystem\Cached\CachedAdapter;
use League\Flysystem\Cached\Storage\Stash as Cache;

$pool = new Pool();
// you can optionally pass a driver (recommended, default: in-memory driver)

$cache = new Cache($pool, 'storageKey', 300);
// Storage Key and expire time are optional

$adapter = new CachedAdapter(new Adapter(__DIR__.'/path/to/root'), $cache);
$filesystem = new Filesystem($adapter);

For list of drivers and configuration options check their documentation.
