}

This has been changed and they now implements a phpFastCache\Core\Pool\ExtendedCacheItemPoolInterface interface

namespace My\Custom\Project;


$instance = CacheManager::getInstance('Files');

if($instance instanceof \phpFastCache\Core\Pool\ExtendedCacheItemPoolInterface)
{
    // Some code
}

Type hint of Item instances

🕐 Then:

Item instances used to implements a phpFastCache\Cache\ExtendedCacheItemInterface interface.

namespace My\Custom\Project;


$instance = CacheManager::getInstance('Files');
$item = $instance->getItem('key');


if($item instanceof \phpFastCache\Cache\ExtendedCacheItemInterface)
{
    // Some code
}

⏰ Now:

This has been changed and it now returns a phpFastCache\Core\Item\ExtendedCacheItemInterface interface

namespace My\Custom\Project;


$instance = CacheManager::getInstance('Files');
$item = $instance->getItem('key');


if($item instanceof \phpFastCache\Core\Item\ExtendedCacheItemInterface)
{
    // Some code
