# Uri Cache
The `UriCache.php` file is a class in the **PHPFast** framework that provides methods to cache and retrieve content based on the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). This class helps in optimizing the performance of web applications by caching the output of specific URIs. Below is a detailed explanation of each method along with examples of how to use them.
## `__construct()`
```php
cacheDir = ROOT_PATH . '/writeable/cache/';
$this->compression = $compression;
$this->headerType = $type;
$this->cacheLogin = false;
}
```
Initializes the `UriCache` object with optional compression level and content type.
* `$compression`: Compression level (0 = no gzip, 1-9 = gzip level).
* `$type`: Content type (e.g., 'html', 'json').
* Sets the cache directory.
* Sets the compression level and content type.
* Initializes the cache login state to `false`.
## `headers()`
```php
function headers($compress = -1)
```
Sends the appropriate HTTP headers for the cached content based on its type and compression settings.
* `$compress`: Compression level (-1 to use default).
## `set()`
```php
function set($content)
```
Stores the given content in the cache after applying optional compression.
* `$content`: Content to be cached.
* `return`: Cached content or false if caching is disabled.
## `get()`
```php
function get()
```
Retrieves and returns cached content if available.
* Note: if the file is gzip, it returns gzip data.
* `return`: Cached content or null if not found.
## `delete()`
Deletes a specific cached file.
* `return`: `true` if the cache file is deleted, `false` otherwise.
## `has()`
Checks if a cached file exists for the requested content.
* `return`: `true` if the cache file exists, `false` otherwise
## `clear()`
Removes all cached files, effectively clearing the cache storage.
* `return`: `true` if the cache directory is cleared
## Example
```php
has()) {
// Retrieve and display the cached content
$cachedContent = $uriCache->get();
if ($cachedContent !== null) {
echo $cachedContent;
exit;
}
}
// Generate the content to be cached
$content = 'Welcome to PHPFast Framework
';
// Save the content to the cache
$uriCache->set($content);
// Delete cache
$uriCache->delete();
// Clear cache
$uriCache->clear();
// Display the content
echo $content;
```

Summary
The `UriCache.php` file provides methods to cache and retrieve content based on the URI. It includes methods to set and get cached content, delete cached content, and check for the existence of cached content. This implementation helps in optimizing the performance of web applications by caching the output of specific URIs.
