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();

Member Function Documentation

◆ 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

Definition at line 201 of file CacheHelper.php.

References $context.

◆ getCachedValue()

CacheHelper::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

Parameters

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

Returns: mixed

Implements ICacheHelper.

Definition at line 266 of file CacheHelper.php.

◆ getCacheKeyString()

CacheHelper::getCacheKeyString ( )

protected

Returns the cache key to use to cache this page's HTML output.

Is constructed from the special page name and language code.

Since: 1.20

Returns: string

Sets a function that gets called when initialization of the cache is done.

Since: 1.20

Parameters

callable $handlerFunction

			$cacheEnabled = null )

Initializes the caching.

Should be called before the first time anything is added via addCachedHTML.

Since: 1.20

Parameters

int \| null	$cacheExpiry	Sets the cache expiry, either ttl in seconds or unix timestamp.
bool \| null	$cacheEnabled	Sets if the cache should be enabled or not.
