21 =head1 NAME
23 Koha::Cache - Handling caching of html and Objects for Koha
25 =head1 SYNOPSIS
27 use Koha::Cache;
28 my $cache = Koha::Cache->new({cache_type => $cache_type, %params});
30 =head1 DESCRIPTION
32 Koha caching routines. This class provides two interfaces for cache access.
33 The first, traditional OO interface provides the following functions:

38 use strict;
39 use warnings;
40 use Carp;
41 use Module::Load::Conditional qw(can_load);
42 use Koha::Cache::Object;
44 use base qw(Class::Accessor);
46 __PACKAGE__->mk_ro_accessors(
47 qw( cache memcached_cache fastmmap_cache memory_cache ));
49 =head2 get_instance
51 my $cache = Koha::Cache->get_instance();
53 This gets a shared instance of the cache, set up in a very default way. This is
54 the recommended way to fetch a cache object. If possible, it'll be
55 persistent across multiple instances.

348 =head1 TIED INTERFACE
350 Koha::Cache also provides a tied interface which enables users to provide a
351 constructor closure and (after creation) treat cached data like normal reference
352 variables and rely on the cache Just Working and getting updated when it
353 expires, etc.
355 my $cache = Koha::Cache->new();
356 my $data = 'whatever';
357 my $scalar = Koha::Cache->create_scalar(
359 'key' => 'whatever',
360 'timeout' => 2,
361 'constructor' => sub { return $data; },
364 print "$$scalar\n"; # Prints "whatever"
365 $data = 'somethingelse';
366 print "$$scalar\n"; # Prints "whatever" because it is cached
367 sleep 2; # Wait until the cache entry has expired
368 print "$$scalar\n"; # Prints "somethingelse"
370 my $hash = Koha::Cache->create_hash(
372 'key' => 'whatever',
373 'timeout' => 2,
374 'constructor' => sub { return $data; },
377 print "$$variable\n"; # Prints "whatever"
379 The gotcha with this interface, of course, is that the variable returned by
380 create_scalar and create_hash is a I<reference> to a tied variable and not a
381 tied variable itself.
383 The tied variable is configured by means of a hashref passed in to the
384 create_scalar and create_hash methods. The following parameters are supported:
386 =over
388 =item I<key>
390 Required. The key to use for identifying the variable in the cache.
392 =item I<constructor>
394 Required. A closure (or reference to a function) that will return the value that
395 needs to be stored in the cache.
397 =item I<preload>
399 Optional. A closure (or reference to a function) that gets run to initialize
400 the cache when creating the tied variable.
402 =item I<arguments>
404 Optional. Array reference with the arguments that should be passed to the
405 constructor function.
407 =item I<timeout>
409 Optional. The cache timeout in seconds for the variable. Defaults to 600
410 (ten minutes).
412 =item I<cache_type>
414 Optional. Which type of cache to use for the variable. Defaults to whatever is
415 set in the environment variable CACHING_SYSTEM. If set to 'null', disables
416 caching for the tied variable.
418 =item I<allowupdate>
420 Optional. Boolean flag to allow the variable to be updated directly. When this
421 is set and the variable is used as an l-value, the cache will be updated
422 immediately with the new value. Using this is probably a bad idea on a
423 multi-threaded system. When I<allowupdate> is not set to true, using the
424 tied variable as an l-value will have no effect.
426 =item I<destructor>
428 Optional. A closure (or reference to a function) that should be called when the
429 tied variable is destroyed.
431 =item I<unset>
433 Optional. Boolean flag to tell the object to remove the variable from the cache
434 when it is destroyed or goes out of scope.
436 =item I<inprocess>
438 Optional. Boolean flag to tell the object not to refresh the variable from the
439 cache every time the value is desired, but rather only when the I<local> copy
440 of the variable is older than the timeout.
442 =back
444 =head2 create_scalar
446 my $scalar = Koha::Cache->create_scalar(\%params);
