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:

37 =cut
38 use strict;
39 use warnings;
40 use Carp;
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 ));
50 our %L1_cache;
52 =head2 get_instance
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.

65 $singleton_cache = $class->new() unless $singleton_cache;

71 Create a new Koha::Cache object. This is required for all cache-related functionality.

233 If set, this will perform a deep copy of the item when it's retrieved. This

362 =head1 TIED INTERFACE
364 Koha::Cache also provides a tied interface which enables users to provide a
365 constructor closure and (after creation) treat cached data like normal reference
366 variables and rely on the cache Just Working and getting updated when it
367 expires, etc.
369 my $cache = Koha::Cache->new();
370 my $data = 'whatever';
371 my $scalar = Koha::Cache->create_scalar(
373 'key' => 'whatever',
374 'timeout' => 2,
375 'constructor' => sub { return $data; },
378 print "$$scalar\n"; # Prints "whatever"
379 $data = 'somethingelse';
380 print "$$scalar\n"; # Prints "whatever" because it is cached
381 sleep 2; # Wait until the cache entry has expired
382 print "$$scalar\n"; # Prints "somethingelse"
384 my $hash = Koha::Cache->create_hash(
386 'key' => 'whatever',
387 'timeout' => 2,
388 'constructor' => sub { return $data; },
391 print "$$variable\n"; # Prints "whatever"
393 The gotcha with this interface, of course, is that the variable returned by
394 create_scalar and create_hash is a I<reference> to a tied variable and not a
395 tied variable itself.
397 The tied variable is configured by means of a hashref passed in to the
398 create_scalar and create_hash methods. The following parameters are supported:
400 =over
402 =item I<key>
404 Required. The key to use for identifying the variable in the cache.
406 =item I<constructor>
408 Required. A closure (or reference to a function) that will return the value that
409 needs to be stored in the cache.
411 =item I<preload>
413 Optional. A closure (or reference to a function) that gets run to initialize
414 the cache when creating the tied variable.
416 =item I<arguments>
418 Optional. Array reference with the arguments that should be passed to the
419 constructor function.
421 =item I<timeout>
423 Optional. The cache timeout in seconds for the variable. Defaults to 600
424 (ten minutes).
426 =item I<cache_type>
428 Optional. Which type of cache to use for the variable. Defaults to whatever is
429 set in the environment variable CACHING_SYSTEM. If set to 'null', disables
430 caching for the tied variable.
432 =item I<allowupdate>
434 Optional. Boolean flag to allow the variable to be updated directly. When this
435 is set and the variable is used as an l-value, the cache will be updated
436 immediately with the new value. Using this is probably a bad idea on a
437 multi-threaded system. When I<allowupdate> is not set to true, using the
438 tied variable as an l-value will have no effect.
440 =item I<destructor>
442 Optional. A closure (or reference to a function) that should be called when the
443 tied variable is destroyed.
445 =item I<unset>
447 Optional. Boolean flag to tell the object to remove the variable from the cache
448 when it is destroyed or goes out of scope.
450 =item I<inprocess>
452 Optional. Boolean flag to tell the object not to refresh the variable from the
453 cache every time the value is desired, but rather only when the I<local> copy
454 of the variable is older than the timeout.
456 =back
458 =head2 create_scalar
460 my $scalar = Koha::Cache->create_scalar(\%params);
462 Create scalar tied to the cache.
