Configuration

To configure the cache to use the Compressed Cache Engine, create a configuration similar to the one below in your config/app.php file. Include the configuration for your target cache engine in the wrapped key.

// ...
    'Cache' => [
        // ...

        'your_cache_configuration' => [
            'className' => \CakeDC\CompressCache\Cache\Engine\CompressEngine::class,
            'wrapped' => [
                'className' => \Cake\Cache\Engine\FileEngine::class,
                'prefix' => 'myapp_your_cache_configuration_',
                'path' => CACHE ,
                'serialize' => true,
                'duration' => '+1 years',
                'url' => env('CACHE_YOUR_CACHE_CONFIGURATION_URL', null),
            ],
            'duration' => '+24 hours',
        ],

        // ...
    ],
// ...

The Compressed Cache Engine will compress data before storing it in the cache and decompress it when reading it from the cache.
