Doctrine View Cache Plugin

This is a plugin which includes a Doctrine behavior for your models. It implements integration with the symfony caching and routing layers. Below you will find a list of the main features of this behavior:

Installation

SVN

Currently their is no package so you will need to checkout the plugin using SVN into your plugins directory.

$ svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfDoctrineViewCachePlugin/trunk plugins/sfDoctrineViewCachePlugin

SVN EXTERNALS

You can of course use externals if your project is already in SVN. This is highly recommended.

Enable

Now you need to enable the plugin in your config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php:

public function setup()
{
  $this->enablePlugins(array('sfDoctrineViewCachePlugin'));
}

Versions

This has only been tested with symfony 1.2 but it should work the same for 1.0 and 1.1.

Features

Below you will find a list of the main features of this behavior:

• Ability to control whether cache is cleared on insert/update/delete
• Clear cache globally
• Specify array of items to remove from cache the using sfViewCacheManager::remove() method or the sfToolKit::clearGlob() method.
• The most convenient feature is the integration with the routing layer so it is aware of what routes are bound to Doctrine objects so it can know what items to clear from the cache.

The Doctrine View Cache Plugin integrates with the symfony view cache so that you can specify items to clear when records are inserted, updated or deleted. It even integrates with the symfony routing system and will automatically detect what namespaces to clear in the cache based on the objects you have mapped to URLs.

Below you will find some example syntaxes:

When you add the sfViewCache behavior with the actAs option you will need rebuild your models and clear your cache before the behavior will begin to work.

$ ./symfony doctrine:build-model
$ ./symfony cc

Globally Clear Cache

Sometimes it may just be easiest to clear the entire cache when a model is changed. You can do this with the global option:

BlogPost:
  actAs:
    sfViewCache:
      global: true
  columns:
    title: string(255)
    body: clob

Clearing Items

You can clear items from the cache the normal way just as you would with the sfViewCacheManager::remove or sfToolKit::clearGlob methods in your project code.

View Cache Manager

You can use the sfViewCacheManager to remove items from your cache just like you would in your project code like the following:

$cacheManager = $this->getContext()->getViewCacheManager();
$cacheManager->remove('blog/view?slug='.$blogPost->slug);

Here is a similar example where we add that cache clearing functionality to our model:

BlogPost:
  actAs:
    sfViewCache:
      items:
        blog_index: blog/index
        blog_post_view: blog/view?slug=:slug
        blog_latest: blog/latest
  columns:
    title: string(255)
    body: clob

In order to clear the cache using the sfViewCacheManager the sfConfig setting sf_cache must be set to true and it can only clear cache items for the application the behavior is invoked from.

Manual

You can use the manual option to specify the behavior to simply use sfToolKit::clearGlob to find the cache for the pattern you specify. Just like the example above you can use the :field_name syntax to replace variables in the path from the object that invokes the behavior.

BlogPost:
  actAs:
    sfViewCache:
      items:
        blog_index: blog/index
        blog_post_view:
          manual: true
          path: blog/:slug
        blog_latest:
          manual: true
          path: blog/latest
  columns:
    title: string(255)
    body: clob

Clear Routes

Want Doctrine to try and find all the cache items that are related to the model with the behavior is attached to? Simply enable the clear_routes option for a certain application and it will parse the routes and find the modules and actions bound to the model.

BlogPost:
  actAs:
    sfViewCache:
      clear_routes: frontend
  columns:
    title: string(255)
    body: clob

Here are three example routes that would be matched and cleared:

blog:
  url:   /blog
  param: { module: blog, action: index }
  class: sfDoctrineRoute
  options: { model: BlogPost, type: list, method: retrieveBlogIndex }
 
latest_blog:
  url:   /blog/latest
  param: { module: blog, action: latest }
  class: sfDoctrineRoute
  options: { model: BlogPost, type: list, method: retrieveLatest }
 
blog_post:
  url:   /blog/:slug
  param: { module: blog, action: view  }
  class: sfDoctrineRoute
  options: { model: BlogPost, type: object }

Insert, Update, Delete?

Want to control whether the the behavior is triggered on insert, update and deleted? You can use the on_insert, on_update and on_delete and options:

BlogPost:
  actAs:
    sfViewCache:
      global: true
      on_insert: true
      on_delete: false
      on_update: false
  columns:
    title: string(255)
    body: clob
