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 our %L1_cache;
51 =head2 get_instance
53 my $cache = Koha::Cache->get_instance();
55 This gets a shared instance of the cache, set up in a very default way. This is
56 the recommended way to fetch a cache object. If possible, it'll be
57 persistent across multiple instances.

64 $singleton_cache = $class->new() unless $singleton_cache;

68 =head2 new
70 Create a new Koha::Cache object. This is required for all cache-related functionality.

249 the caching layer anyway.

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