Wordpress cache service

This is a small class that wraps the Transient API into a easier to use service. Note this is not a replacement for Transients API only an enhancement.

The class is built to behave in the same way as Laravel 4.2's cache service.

Read more about the class here.

Basic usage

function generateValue() {
	// Return the value either through the cache or by regenerating and updating the cache.
	return Cache::remember(
		'myCachedValue',
		12*(60*60),   // cache for 12 hours.
		function() {
			return // Something value
		}
	);
}
