Class: cache_factory - X-Ref
The cache factory class.This factory class is important because it stores instances of objects used by the cache API and returns them upon requests.
This allows us to both reuse objects saving on overhead, and gives us an easy place to "reset" the cache API in situations that
we need such as unit testing.
| instance($forcereload = false) X-Ref |
| Returns an instance of the cache_factor method. param: bool $forcereload If set to true a new cache_factory instance will be created and used. return: cache_factory |
| __construct() X-Ref |
| Protected constructor, please use the static instance method. |
| reset() X-Ref |
| Resets the arrays containing instantiated caches, stores, and config instances. |
| reset_cache_instances() X-Ref |
| Resets the stores, clearing the array of created stores. Cache objects still held onto by the code that initialised them will remain as is however all future requests for a cache/store will lead to a new instance being re-initialised. |
| create_cache_from_definition($component, $area, array $identifiers = array() X-Ref |
| Creates a cache object given the parameters for a definition. If a cache has already been created for the given definition then that cache instance will be returned. param: string $component param: string $area param: array $identifiers param: string $unused Used to be data source aggregate however that was removed and this is now unused. return: cache_application|cache_session|cache_request |
| create_cache_from_params($mode, $component, $area, array $identifiers = array() X-Ref |
| Creates an ad-hoc cache from the given param. If a cache has already been created using the same params then that cache instance will be returned. param: int $mode param: string $component param: string $area param: array $identifiers param: array $options An array of options, available options are: return: cache_application|cache_session|cache_request |
| create_cache(cache_definition $definition) X-Ref |
| Common public method to create a cache instance given a definition. This is used by the static make methods. param: cache_definition $definition return: cache_application|cache_session|cache_store |
| create_store_from_config($name, array $details, cache_definition $definition) X-Ref |
| Creates a store instance given its name and configuration. If the store has already been instantiated then the original object will be returned. (reused) param: string $name The name of the store (must be unique remember) param: array $details param: cache_definition $definition The definition to instantiate it for. return: boolean|cache_store |
| get_store_instances_in_use(cache_definition $definition) X-Ref |
| Returns an array of cache stores that have been initialised for use in definitions. param: cache_definition $definition return: array |
| get_caches_in_use() X-Ref |
| Returns the cache instances that have been used within this request. return: array |
| get_adhoc_caches_in_use() X-Ref |
| Gets all adhoc caches that have been used within this request. return: cache_store[] Caches currently in use |
| create_config_instance($writer = false) X-Ref |
| Creates a cache config instance with the ability to write if required. param: bool $writer If set to true an instance that can update the configuration will be returned. return: cache_config|cache_config_writer |
| create_definition($component, $area, $unused = null) X-Ref |
| Creates a definition instance or returns the existing one if it has already been created. param: string $component param: string $area param: string $unused This used to be data source aggregate - however that functionality has been removed and return: cache_definition |
| create_dummy_store(cache_definition $definition) X-Ref |
| Creates a dummy store object for use when a loader has no potential stores to use. param: cache_definition $definition return: cachestore_dummy |
| create_lock_instance(array $config) X-Ref |
| Returns a lock instance ready for use. param: array $config return: cache_lock_interface |
| get_state() X-Ref |
| Returns the current state of the cache API. return: int |
| set_state($state) X-Ref |
| Updates the state fo the cache API. param: int $state return: bool |
| updating_started() X-Ref |
| Informs the factory that the cache is currently updating itself. This forces the state to upgrading and can only be called once the cache is ready to use. Calling it ensure we don't try to reinstantite things when requesting cache definitions that don't exist yet. |
| updating_finished() X-Ref |
| Informs the factory that the upgrading has finished. This forces the state back to ready. |
| is_disabled() X-Ref |
| Returns true if the cache API has been disabled. return: bool |
| is_initialising() X-Ref |
| Returns true if the cache is currently initialising itself. This includes both initialisation and saving the cache config file as part of that initialisation. return: bool |
| is_updating() X-Ref |
| Returns true if the cache is currently updating itself. return: bool |
| disable() X-Ref |
| Disables as much of the cache API as possible. All of the magic associated with the disabled cache is wrapped into this function. In switching out the factory for the disabled factory it gains full control over the initialisation of objects and can use all of the disabled alternatives. Simple! This function has been marked as protected so that it cannot be abused through the public API presently. Perhaps in the future we will allow this, however as per the build up to the first release containing MUC it was decided that this was just to risky and abusable. |
| stores_disabled() X-Ref |
| Returns true if the cache stores have been disabled. return: bool |
| disable_stores() X-Ref |
| Disables cache stores. The cache API will continue to function however none of the actual stores will be used. Instead the dummy store will be provided for all cache requests. This is useful in situations where you cannot be sure any stores are working. In order to re-enable the cache you must call the cache factories static reset method: <code> // Disable the cache factory. cache_factory::disable_stores(); // Re-enable the cache factory by resetting it. cache_factory::reset(); </code> |
