Mojolic...CHI::chi(3)

✨ Mojolicious::Plugin::CHI::chi ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual — it's the Mojolicious::Plugin::CHI::chi page (3), and it's literally all about poking at your CHI caches from the command line. 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Mojolicious::Plugin::CHI::chi — interact with CHI caches 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

  usage: perl app.pl chi <command> [cache] [key]

    perl app.pl chi list
    perl app.pl chi purge
    perl app.pl chi clear mycache
    perl app.pl chi expire mykey
    perl app.pl chi remove mycache mykey

So basically: you hit up the CHI caches that are associated with your application, and here's the whole menu of valid commands, no gatekeeping:

• list — lists all the chi caches that are associated with your application. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 👑
• purge [cache] — removes all the expired entries from the cache namespace. spring cleaning fr fr 🧹
• clear [cache] — removes all entries from the cache namespace. not just the expired ones. everything. 😭
• expire [cache] [key] — sets the expiration date of a key to the past. lowkey important note: this does not necessarily delete the data. it's giving "technically expired bestie" 💀
• remove [cache] [key] — removes a key from the cache. gone. periodt. 🙈

Now the rules of engagement, bestie, listen closely:

• purge and expire expect a cache namespace as their only argument. if no cache namespace is given, the default cache namespace is assumed. 💖
• expire and remove expect a cache namespace and a key name as their arguments. if no cache namespace is given, the default cache namespace is assumed. 💖
