23 Koha::Cache - Handling caching of html and Objects for Koha
28 my $cache = Koha::Cache->new({cache_type => $cache_type, %params});
32 Koha caching routines. This class provides two interfaces for cache access.
33 The first, traditional OO interface provides the following functions:
41 use Clone qw( clone );
42 use Module::Load::Conditional qw(can_load);
43 use Koha::Cache::Object;
45 use base qw(Class::Accessor);
47 __PACKAGE__->mk_ro_accessors(
48 qw( cache memcached_cache fastmmap_cache memory_cache ));
54 my $cache = Koha::Cache->get_instance();
56 This gets a shared instance of the cache, set up in a very default way. This is
57 the recommended way to fetch a cache object. If possible, it'll be
58 persistent across multiple instances.

391 =head1 TIED INTERFACE
393 Koha::Cache also provides a tied interface which enables users to provide a
394 constructor closure and (after creation) treat cached data like normal reference
395 variables and rely on the cache Just Working and getting updated when it
398 my $cache = Koha::Cache->new();
399 my $data = 'whatever';
400 my $scalar = Koha::Cache->create_scalar(
404 'constructor' => sub { return $data; },
407 print "$$scalar\n"; # Prints "whatever"
408 $data = 'somethingelse';
409 print "$$scalar\n"; # Prints "whatever" because it is cached
410 sleep 2; # Wait until the cache entry has expired
411 print "$$scalar\n"; # Prints "somethingelse"
413 my $hash = Koha::Cache->create_hash(
417 'constructor' => sub { return $data; },
420 print "$$variable\n"; # Prints "whatever"
422 The gotcha with this interface, of course, is that the variable returned by
423 create_scalar and create_hash is a I<reference> to a tied variable and not a
424 tied variable itself.
426 The tied variable is configured by means of a hashref passed in to the
427 create_scalar and create_hash methods. The following parameters are supported:
433 Required. The key to use for identifying the variable in the cache.
437 Required. A closure (or reference to a function) that will return the value that
438 needs to be stored in the cache.
442 Optional. A closure (or reference to a function) that gets run to initialize
443 the cache when creating the tied variable.
447 Optional. Array reference with the arguments that should be passed to the
448 constructor function.
452 Optional. The cache timeout in seconds for the variable. Defaults to 600
457 Optional. Which type of cache to use for the variable. Defaults to whatever is
458 set in the environment variable CACHING_SYSTEM. If set to 'null', disables
459 caching for the tied variable.
463 Optional. Boolean flag to allow the variable to be updated directly. When this
464 is set and the variable is used as an l-value, the cache will be updated
465 immediately with the new value. Using this is probably a bad idea on a
466 multi-threaded system. When I<allowupdate> is not set to true, using the
467 tied variable as an l-value will have no effect.
471 Optional. A closure (or reference to a function) that should be called when the
472 tied variable is destroyed.
476 Optional. Boolean flag to tell the object to remove the variable from the cache
477 when it is destroyed or goes out of scope.
481 Optional. Boolean flag to tell the object not to refresh the variable from the
482 cache every time the value is desired, but rather only when the I<local> copy
483 of the variable is older than the timeout.
