DoctrineCacheBundle: Flush cache via SYmfony route - php

Question

Over my Symfony project I use the DoctrineCacheBundle and I want when I visit http://example.com/api/cache/flush I want to uncache (flush) any cached key.
The sole reason is because I have applications that visit the url above in order to remove any cached result.
As far I searched the DoctrineCacheBundle uses a command in order to uncache the cached results (as you can see via php ./bin/console list doctrine:cache command):
Symfony 3.3.12 (kernel: app, env: dev, debug: true)
Usage:
command [options] [arguments]
Options:
-h, --help Display this help message
-q, --quiet Do not output any message
-V, --version Display this application version
--ansi Force ANSI output
--no-ansi Disable ANSI output
-n, --no-interaction Do not ask any interactive question
-e, --env=ENV The environment name [default: "dev"]
--no-debug Switches off debug mode
-v|vv|vvv, --verbose Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug
Available commands for the "doctrine:cache" namespace:
doctrine:cache:clear Flush a given cache
doctrine:cache:contains Check if a cache entry exists
doctrine:cache:delete Delete a cache entry
doctrine:cache:flush [doctrine:cache:clear] Flush a given cache
doctrine:cache:stats Get stats on a given cache provider
But how can I do this programmatically?

Answer 1

The best way is to make your own Cache adapter by following one of theese 2 approaches:
Approach 1: Use dedicated manager for uncaching:
namespace AppBundle\CacheManagers;
use Doctrine\Common\Cache\FlushableCache;
class PurgeAllcachesManager
{
/**
* #var FlushableCache
*/
private $purgeCachingHandler=null;
public function __construct(FlushableCache $purgeCachingHandler)
{
$this->purgeCachingHandler=$purgeCachingHandler;
}
/**
* Method that does all the dirty job to uncache all the keys
*/
public function uncache()
{
$this->purgeCachingHandler->flushAll();
}
}
Approach2: Do as Doctrine does:
namespace AppBundle\CacheManagers;
use Doctrine\Common\Cache\Cache as CacheHandler;
class PurgeAllcachesManager
{
/**
* #var CacheHandler
*/
private $cacheHandler=null;
public function __construct(CacheHandler $cacheHandler)
{
$this->cacheHandler=$cacheHandler;
}
/**
* Method that does all the dirty job to uncache all the keys
* #throws Exception
*/
public function uncacheAllKeys()
{
if(!method_exists($this->purgeCachingHandler) ){
throw new Exception("You cannot empty the cache");
}
$this->purgeCachingHandler->flushAll();
}
//Yet another methods to handle the cache
}
