Why custom cache type is required?

Many times developers require to add a custom cache for obtaining fast output. Mainly, custom cache type is used to specify to the customers that what type of cache is used with the help of the Cache Management option. Let me guide you to Create/Add custom cache type in the cache list. 

Steps to Create/Add custom cache type in cache list:

Step 1: Firstly, Create One Vendor/Extenison/etc/cache.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Cache/etc/cache.xsd">
    <type name="cache_name" translate="description,label" instance="Vendor\Extension\Cache\Type">
        <label>Cache Label</label>
        <description> Description About Action or purpose</description>
    </type>
</config>

Step 2: Next, for performing this create type.php file into the Cache Folder in 

Path : Vendor\Extension\Cache\Type.php

<?php

namespace Vendor\Extension\Cache;

use Magento\Framework\App\Cache\StateInterface;
use Magento\Framework\App\Cache\Type\FrontendPool;

class Type extends \Magento\Framework\Cache\Frontend\Decorator\TagScope
{
    const TYPE_IDENTIFIER = 'uniq_identifire';
    const CACHE_TAG = 'uniq_tag';
    private $cacheState;

    public function __construct(
        FrontendPool $cacheFrontendPool,
        StateInterface $cacheState
    ) {
        parent::__construct($cacheFrontendPool->get(self::TYPE_IDENTIFIER), self::CACHE_TAG);
        $this->cacheState = $cacheState;
    }
    public function load($identifier)
    {
        if (!$this->isEnabled()) {
            return false;
        }
        return parent::load($identifier);
    }

    public function save($data, $identifier, array $tags = [], $lifeTime = null)
    {
        if (!$this->isEnabled()) {
            return false;
        }
        return parent::save($data, $identifier, $tags, $lifeTime);
    }

    public function isEnabled()
    {
        return $this->cacheState->isEnabled(self::TYPE_IDENTIFIER);
    }
}

That’s It.
