Adapters For Interoperability between PSR-6 and PSR-16 Cache
Sometimes, you may have a Cache object that implements the PSR-16 standard, but need to pass it to an object that expects a PSR-6 cache adapter. Or, you might have the opposite situation. The cache component contains two classes for bidirectional interoperability between PSR-6 and PSR-16 caches.
Using a PSR-16 Cache Object as a PSR-6 Cache
Suppose you want to work with a class that requires a PSR-6 Cache pool object. For example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
use Psr\Cache\CacheItemPoolInterface;
// just a made-up class for the example
class GitHubApiClient
{
// ...
// this requires a PSR-6 cache object
public function __construct(CacheItemPoolInterface $cachePool)
{
// ...
}
}But, you already have a PSR-16 cache object, and you'd like to pass this to the class instead. No problem! The Cache component provides the Psr16Adapter class for exactly this use-case:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
use Symfony\Component\Cache\Adapter\Psr16Adapter;
// $psr16Cache is the PSR-16 object that you want to use as a PSR-6 one
// a PSR-6 cache that uses your cache internally!
$psr6Cache = new Psr16Adapter($psr16Cache);
// now use this wherever you want
$githubApiClient = new GitHubApiClient($psr6Cache);4.3
The Psr16Adapter class was introduced in Symfony 4.3.

Suppose you want to work with a class that requires a PSR-16 Cache object. For example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
use Psr\SimpleCache\CacheInterface;
// just a made-up class for the example
class GitHubApiClient
{
// ...
// this requires a PSR-16 cache object
public function __construct(CacheInterface $cache)
{
// ...
}

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
use Symfony\Component\Cache\Adapter\FilesystemAdapter;
use Symfony\Component\Cache\Psr16Cache;
// the PSR-6 cache object that you want to use
$psr6Cache = new FilesystemAdapter();
// a PSR-16 cache that uses your cache internally!
$psr16Cache = new Psr16Cache($psr6Cache);
// now use this wherever you want
$githubApiClient = new GitHubApiClient($psr16Cache);4.3
