Detailed Description

Helper class for caching various elements in a single cache entry.

To get a cached value or compute it, use getCachedValue like this: $this->getCachedValue( $callback );

To add HTML that should be cached, use addCachedHTML like this: $this->addCachedHTML( $callback );

The callback function is only called when needed, so do all your expensive computations here. This function should returns the HTML to be cached. It should not add anything to the PageOutput object!

Before the first addCachedHTML call, you should call $this->startCache(); After adding the last HTML that should be cached, call $this->saveCache();

◆ getCachedNotice()

CacheHelper::getCachedNotice ( IContextSource $context,
$includePurgeLink = true )

Returns a message that notifies the user he/she is looking at a cached version of the page, including a refresh link.

Since
1.20
Parameters
IContextSource$context
bool$includePurgeLink
Returns
string

◆ getCachedValue()

CacheHelper::getCachedValue ( $computeFunction,
$args = [],
$key = null )

The provided $computeFunction is only called when the computation needs to happen and should return a result value. $args are arguments that will be passed to the compute function when called.

Since
1.20
Parameters
callable$computeFunction
array | mixed$args
string | null$key
Returns
mixed
