Detailed Description

Abstract action class with scaffolding for caching HTML and other values in a single blob.

Before using any of the caching functionality, call startCache. After the last call to either getCachedValue or addCachedHTML, call saveCache.

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!

Member Function Documentation

◆ addCachedHTML()

CachedAction::addCachedHTML	(	$computeFunction,
		$args = [],

This is done by providing a callback function that should return the HTML to be added. It will only be called if the item is not in the cache yet or when the cache has been invalidated.

Since: 1.20

Parameters

callable	$computeFunction
array	$args
string \| null	$key

◆ getCachedValue()

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

Get a cached value if available or compute it if not and then cache it if possible.

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
