View Source Plausible.Cache behaviour (Plausible v0.0.1)
Caching interface specific for Plausible. Usage:
use Plausible.Cache
# - Implement the callbacks required
# - Optionally override `unwrap_cache_keys/1`
# - Populate the cache with `Plausible.Cache.Warmer`
Serves as a wrapper around Plausible.Cache.Adapter
, where the underlying
implementation can be transparently swapped.
Even though normally the relevant Adapter processes are started, cache access is disabled
during tests via the :plausible, Elixir.Plausible.Cache, enabled: bool()
application env key.
This can be overridden on case by case basis, using the child specs options.
The base_db_query/0
callback is used to generate the base query that is
executed on every cache refresh.
There are two modes of refresh operation: :all
and :updated_recently
;
the former will invoke the query as is and clear all the existing entries,
while the latter will attempt to limit the query to only the records that
have been updated in the last 15 minutes and try to merge the new results with
existing cache entries.
Both refresh modes are normally executed periodically from within a warmer process;
see: Plausible.Cache.Warmer
. The reason for two modes is that the latter is lighter
on the database and can be executed more frequently.
When Cache is disabled via application env, the get/1
function
falls back to pure database lookups (implemented via get_from_source/1
callback.
This should help with introducing cached lookups in existing code,
so that no existing tests should break.
Refreshing the cache emits telemetry event defined as per telemetry_event_refresh/2
.
Summary
Callbacks
Returns the base Ecto query used to refresh the cache
Supervisor child id, must be unique within the supervision tree
Counts all items at the source, an aggregate query most likely
Retrieves the item from the source, in case the cache is disabled
Unique cache name, used by underlying implementation
Optionally unwraps the keys of the cache items, in case one item is stored under multiple keys
Functions
Looks for application env value at :plausible, Elixir.Plausible.Cache, enabled: bool()
