Examples

Autodelete cache after AR update

Simple use case: We have cached AR object somewhere in our app:

<?php
...
if (!$model = Yii::$app->cache->get('cachedModel')) {
	$model = ARModel::findOne($modelID);
	Yii::$app->cache->set('cachedModel', $model);
}
...

So, if somewhere in applicaton we change or delete this AR data, we have to delete our cache value.

Just use CacheCleanerBehavior in your ARModel:

<?php
public function behaviors()
{
    return [[
        'class' => CacheCleanerBehavior::className(),
        //'cacheComponent' => 'cache',  //you can define your app cache component
        'events' => [
            ActiveRecord::EVENT_AFTER_UPDATE => 'cachedModel'
            ActiveRecord::EVENT_BEFORE_DELETE => 'cachedModel'
        ]
    ]];
}

NOTE! When component initialize behaviors there is no attributes! To set cache keys with object attributes use callable param for defining. #DocBlock

Using CacheUpdateEvent

There is a special class in package for triggering events when you change cache values, where you can send to handler action changed cache key(s).

You can use this class with CacheCleanerBehavior if you want delete different keys using one event name.

Example:

<?php
public function behaviors()
{
    return [[
        'class' => CacheCleanerBehavior::className(),
        'events' => [
            YOUR_EVENT_NAME => null
        ]
    ]];
}

...

function someComponentAction()
{
...
	$this->trigger(YOUR_EVENT_NAME, new CacheUpdateEvent([
		'keys' => ['keyName1', 'keyName2'],
	]));
...
}
