- Can I use TedivmStashBundle in Laravel, or is it strictly for Symfony?
- TedivmStashBundle is designed for Symfony, but you can adapt it for Laravel using Laravel’s Symfony Bridge or by creating a custom service provider. The underlying Stash library is framework-agnostic, so the core caching logic remains reusable. However, Symfony-specific features like Web Profiler integration won’t work without additional setup.
- What Laravel versions does TedivmStashBundle support?
- TedivmStashBundle is not natively Laravel-compatible, but if you’re using Laravel 5.5+ with Symfony components (e.g., via Laravel/Symfony Bridge), you can integrate it. For Laravel 8/9, you’d need to manually bridge Symfony’s dependency injection. The bundle itself supports PHP 7.0+ and HHVM, which aligns with Laravel’s modern versions.
- How do I configure multiple cache backends (e.g., Redis fallback to filesystem) in Symfony?
- Use YAML configuration under `stash:` in `config.yml`. Define a composite driver like this: `drivers: [Redis, FileSystem]`. Stash will automatically fall back to the next driver if the primary fails. Example: `stash: drivers: [redis://127.0.0.1, filesystem:///tmp/cache]`. Ensure your Redis server is accessible and the filesystem directory is writable.
- Does TedivmStashBundle work with Laravel’s cache facade or only Symfony’s container?
- TedivmStashBundle is Symfony-centric and relies on Symfony’s service container. To use it in Laravel, you’d need to manually register the bundle’s services in Laravel’s container or create a facade wrapper. The Stash library itself is PSR-6 compliant, so you could also integrate it directly via Laravel’s PSR-6 cache implementations if you bypass the Symfony bundle.
- How do I integrate TedivmStashBundle with Doctrine in Symfony?
- Enable Doctrine integration by adding `doctrine: true` to your `stash:` configuration in `config.yml`. This automatically registers Stash as Doctrine’s metadata and query cache provider. Example: `stash: doctrine: true`. Ensure your cache drivers are properly configured, as Doctrine relies on the cache for performance-critical operations like query caching.
- What are the performance implications of using in-memory caching in CLI scripts?
- In-memory caching (default in Stash) can cause memory leaks in long-running CLI processes. Disable it by setting `inMemory: false` in your configuration. For CLI scripts, prefer dedicated drivers like Redis or Memcached, which persist data outside the process. Example: `stash: drivers: [redis://127.0.0.1], inMemory: false`.
- How do I monitor cache hit/miss ratios in Symfony with TedivmStashBundle?
- Enable tracking in development by setting `tracking: true` in your `stash:` configuration. This integrates with Symfony’s Web Profiler, showing cache statistics in the toolbar. For production, log cache metrics manually or use a monitoring tool like Blackfire. Example: `stash: tracking: %kernel.debug%` (defaults to true in dev).
- What alternatives exist to TedivmStashBundle for Symfony caching?
- Symfony’s built-in `symfony/cache` component (PSR-6 compliant) is a direct alternative, offering Redis, Memcached, and filesystem support. Doctrine also provides its own cache system. TedivmStashBundle stands out for composite drivers (e.g., Redis + filesystem fallback) and deeper Symfony integration, like Web Profiler support. Choose `symfony/cache` for simplicity or Stash for advanced driver combinations.
- How do I handle cache key collisions when using multiple named pools in Symfony?
- Stash supports multiple named pools (e.g., `stash.first` and `stash.second`) to avoid key collisions. Configure each pool separately in `config.yml` under `stash.pools:`. Example: `stash: pools: { first: { drivers: [Apc] }, second: { drivers: [Memcached] } }`. Access them via `$container->get('stash.first')` and `$container->get('stash.second')` to isolate cached data.
- Is TedivmStashBundle compatible with Symfony 6/7, or should I avoid it?
- TedivmStashBundle’s last release (2023-05-24) supports Symfony 3.4–5.x. While it may work with Symfony 6/7, some features (e.g., autowiring, new config formats) might require manual adjustments. Monitor the GitHub repo for updates or test thoroughly. For Symfony 6+, consider `symfony/cache` or wait for a StashBundle update, as Symfony’s ecosystem evolves rapidly.
