, in fedora 43

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, say hi to Text::Template::Simple::Cache 💖 this is the page from the Text::T...e::Cache(3) manual, and it's literally the cache manager for Text::Template::Simple. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.91 — yes queen, we're on 0.91 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

TODO
not me leaving this blank 😭 the docs said TODO and honestly? same energy. it's giving "we'll fill this in later" and later never came 💀

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what is this? it's the cache manager for Text::Template::Simple. that's it, that's the description. it manages the cache. iconic behaviour, honestly 👑

💜 NAME 💜

Text::Template::Simple::Cache — Cache manager. she does exactly what it says on the tin, periodt ✨

🌈 METHODS 🌈

🍓 new PARENT_OBJECT

Constructor, aka the birth of a legend ✨ it accepts a Text::Template::Simple object as the parameter. hand it your template object and you're off 🫶

🍓 type

Returns the type of the cache. just... tells you what kind of cache you got. lowkey useful, highkey simple 💅

🍓 reset

Resets the in-memory cache and deletes all cache files, if you are using a disk cache. 🧹✨

heads up bestie — if you're on a disk cache, this one goes scorched earth. everything in memory, every cache file on disk. gone. know what you're doing before you call it 💀

🍓 dumper TYPE

$template->cache->dumper( $type, \%opt );

TYPE can either be structure or ids. and dumper accepts some arguments as a hash reference:

$template->cache->dumper( $type, \%opt );

the options you can drop in that hashref:

  • varname — controls the name of the dumped structure. you get to name the thing, main character privileges 👑
  • no_deparse — if you set this to a true value, "deparsing" will be disabled. bye deparse 💅
  • structure — returns a string version of the dumped in-memory or disk-cache. the cache is dumped via Data::Dumper, and the "Deparse" option is enabled for in-memory cache.
real talk 🫶 early versions of Data::Dumper don't have a Deparse method, so you may need to upgrade your Data::Dumper or disable "deparsing" if you want to use this method. don't say nobody warned you 😭
  • ids — returns a list including the names (ids) of the templates in the cache. a lil guest list of everything chilling in there 🎀

🍓 id

Gets/sets the cache id. get it, set it, whatever you need, bestie 💖

🍓 size

Returns the total cache (disk or memory) size in bytes. 📏

if memory cache is used, then you must have Devel::Size installed on your system to get the size of the data structure inside memory. no Devel::Size? no number. that's the rule 🤷

🍓 has data => TEMPLATE_DATA and has id => TEMPLATE_ID

this method can be called with the data or the id named parameter. and if you use the two together, id will be used — id wins, always, no debate 💅

if ( $template->cache->has( id => 'e369853df766fa44e1ed0ff613f563bd' ) ) {
   print "ok!";
}

or

if ( $template->cache->has( data => q~Foo is <%=$bar%>~ ) ) {
   print "ok!";
}

🍓 hit

TODO
once again, TODO 🙈 the mystery method. she's giving "coming soon" and honestly we respect the suspense

🍓 populate

TODO
and ANOTHER TODO 😭 two mystery methods in one page, this is truly the unhinged era of documentation and i'm obsessed
