Cachedmodelbehavior

Hello to everybody! :)

I have developed new component CachedModelBehavior. 3275

CachedModelBehavior.php

Here is brief description.




/**

 * CachedModelBehavior handles model caching and its synchronization with main data 

 * storage.

 *

 * This component creates middle storage for used models in cache. Thus, it helps

 * significantly alleviate DB server load. You may define time interval between data 

 * synchronizations from cache to main data storage.

 * 

 * Component is recommended for frequently requested/updated small pieces of data. 

 * Stored data should be not so significant, because it may be (rarely, but...)

 * removed from cache storage: it is fast but trustless storage. For example, 

 * component may be used to store user visits, user likes etc in cache. It would be 

 * great, if you could use more reliable storage for data, such as Redis.

 *

 * <b>Note:</b> it is not recommended for important user data (like passwords, 

 * payment transactions etc.), for large size or rarely requested/updated data 

 * (blog posts, logs etc.).

 *

 * All api methods have the same names and arguments, as CActiveRecord class. So, 

 * if you set {@link CachedModelBehavior::isEnabled} to false or if there is no 

 * cached attributes, all methods will be simply downgraded to CActiveRecord 

 * methods, without using cache storage. No code changes needed anymore.

 *

 * class MyModel extends CActiveRecord

 * {

 * 	

 * 	...

 * 	

 * 	public function behaviors()

 *	{

 * 		return array(

 * 			'cachedModel' => array(

 * 				'class' => 'CachedModelBehavior',

 *				'fields' => '',

 * 				'excludedFields' => 'action,userid',

 * 				'syncInterval' => 15,

 *				'delayedInsert' => true,

 * 			),

 * 		);

 * 	}

 * 	

 * 	...

 * }

 *

 * DO NOT use component on your production servers! It is not well tested yet.

I have no posts at this forum, so I can’t upload component to ‘Extensions’ part of site. But please, please, feel you free to ask, make suggestions, report about possible bugs. I have tested it, but, may be, missed something.

Also your opinion about component will be greatly appreciated. Please, show me my mistakes. I want to improve my programming skills, again and again. :)

Thank you!
