💅 NAME 💅

Catalyst::Plugin::Cache::Store::FastMmap — DEPRECATED bestie, she's the FastMmap cache store for Catalyst::Plugin::Cache. Iconic but retired, okay? She still shows up to the group chat tho.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so instead of using this plugin, you can now do this:

# instead of using this plugin, you can now do this:

use Catalyst qw/
    Cache
/;

__PACKAGE__->config( cache => {
    backend => {
        class => "Cache:FastMmap",
        share_file => "/path/to/file",
        cache_size => "16m",
    },
});

that's it, that's the whole vibe. no wrapper needed anymore 🦋

---

🚨 STATUS 🚨

This plugin is deprecated because Cache::FastMmap no longer needs to be wrapped to store plain values. not me being obsolete 😭

It is still available on the CPAN for backwards compatibility and will still work with newer versions of Cache::FastMmap with a slight performance degredation. so she's not gone gone, she's just lowkey slower now. 🐌

heads up bestie: deprecated means don't start new stuff with her, but your old code is safe.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This store plugin is a bit of a wrapper for Cache::FastMmap. like a little jacket she wears. 🧥

While you could normally just configure with

backend => {
    class => "Cache::FastMmap",
    share_file => ...,
}

Cache::FastMmap can't store plain values by default. the way that this module handles that? It ships with a subclass that will wrap all values in a scalar reference before storing. slay. 💅

This store plugin will try to provide a default "share_file" as well, that won't clash with other apps. so considerate of her honestly 🫶

---

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

See "CONFIGURATION" in Catalyst::Plugin::Cache for a general overview of cache plugin configuration. go read that one, it's giving the full picture. 📖

This plugin just takes a hash reference in the backend field and passes it on to Cache::FastMmap. no extra steps, no drama, periodt. ✨
