This behaves the same as the $cache API variable but does support arguments as a shortcut for the $cache->get() method.

  • If called with arguments, it can be used the same as WireCache::get().

Usage

// usage with all arguments
$wireCache = cache(string $name = '', $expire = null, $func = null);

Arguments
