Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __construct()

cachestore_dummy::__construct ( $name = 'Dummy store',
array $configuration = array() )

Constructs a dummy store instance.

Parameters
string$name
array$configuration

Reimplemented from cache_store.

Member Function Documentation

◆ are_requirements_met()

static cachestore_dummy::are_requirements_met ( )
static

Returns true if this store plugin is usable.

Return values
bool

Implements cache_store_interface.

◆ cache_size_details()

cache_store::cache_size_details ( int $samplekeys = 50)
inherited

Gets the amount of memory used by this specific cache within the store, if known.

This function may be slow and should not be called in normal usage, only for administration pages. The value is usually an estimate, and may not be available at all.

When estimating, a number of sample items will be used for the estimate. If set to 50 (default), then this function will retrieve 50 random items and use that to estimate the total size.

The return value has the following fields:

  • supported (true if any other values are completed)
  • items (number of items)
  • mean (mean size of one item in bytes)
  • sd (standard deviation of item size in bytes, based on sample)
  • margin (95% confidence margin for mean - will be 0 if exactly computed)
Parameters
int$samplekeysNumber of samples to use
Return values
stdClassObject with information about the store size

Reimplemented in cachestore_file.

◆ can_add_instance()

static cachestore_dummy::can_add_instance ( )
static

Returns true if the user can add an instance.

Return values
bool

Reimplemented from cache_store.

◆ cleanup()

cachestore_dummy::cleanup ( )

Performs any necessary clean up when the store instance is being deleted.

Deprecated
since 3.2
See also
cachestore_dummy\instance_deleted()

Reimplemented from cache_store.

◆ create_clone()

cache_store::create_clone ( array $details = array())
inherited

Creates a clone of this store instance ready to be initialised.

This method is used so that a cache store needs only be constructed once. Future requests for an instance of the store will be given a cloned instance.

If you are writing a cache store that isn't compatible with the clone operation you can override this method to handle any situations you want before cloning.

Parameters
array$detailsAn array containing the details of the store from the cache config.
Return values
cache_store

◆ delete()

cachestore_dummy::delete ( $key)

Deletes an item from the cache.

Parameters
string$key
Return values
bool

Reimplemented from cache_store.

◆ delete_many()

cachestore_dummy::delete_many ( array $keys)

Deletes many items from the cache.

Parameters
array$keys
Return values
bool

Reimplemented from cache_store.

◆ estimate_stored_size()

cache_store::estimate_stored_size ( $key,
$value )
inherited

Estimates the storage size used within this cache if the given value is stored with the given key.

This function is not exactly accurate; it does not necessarily take into account all the overheads involved. It is only intended to give a good idea of the relative size of different caches.

The default implementation serializes both key and value and sums the lengths (as a rough estimate which is probably good enough for everything unless the cache offers compression).

Parameters
mixed$keyKey
mixed$valueValue
Return values
intSize in bytes

Reimplemented in cachestore_redis.

◆ get()

cachestore_dummy::get ( $key)

Returns the data for the given key.

Parameters
string$key
Return values
string|false

Reimplemented from cache_store.

◆ get_last_io_bytes()

cache_store::get_last_io_bytes ( )
inherited

Gets the number of bytes read from or written to cache as a result of the last action.

This includes calls to the functions get(), get_many(), set(), and set_many(). The number is reset by calling any of these functions.

This should be the actual number of bytes of the value read from or written to cache, giving an impression of the network or other load. It will not be exactly the same amount as netowrk traffic because of protocol overhead, key text, etc.

If not supported, returns IO_BYTES_NOT_SUPPORTED.

Return values
intBytes read (or 0 if none/not supported)
Since
Moodle 4.0

Reimplemented in cachestore_file, and cachestore_redis.

◆ get_many()

cachestore_dummy::get_many ( $keys)

Gets' the values for many keys.

Parameters
array$keys
Return values
bool

Reimplemented from cache_store.

◆ get_supported_features()

static cachestore_dummy::get_supported_features ( array $configuration = array())
static

Returns the supported features.

Parameters

◆ get_supported_modes()

static

Returns the supported mode.

Parameters
array$configuration
Return values
int

Implements cache_store_interface.

◆ get_warnings()

cache_store::get_warnings ( )
inherited

Can be overridden to return any warnings this store instance should make to the admin.

This should be used to notify things like configuration conflicts etc. The warnings returned here will be displayed on the cache configuration screen.

Return values
string[]An array of warning strings from the store instance.

◆ initialise()

cachestore_dummy::initialise ( cache_definition $definition)

Initialises the store instance for a definition.

Parameters
cache_definition$definition

Member Data Documentation

◆ $persist

bool cachestore_dummy::$persist = false
protected

Gets set to true if this store is going to store data.

This happens when the definition doesn't require static acceleration as the loader will not be storing information and something has to.

◆ DEREFERENCES_OBJECTS

const cache_store::DEREFERENCES_OBJECTS = 16
inherited

The cache store dereferences objects.

When set, loaders will assume that all data coming from this store has already had all references resolved. So even for complex object structures it will not try to remove references again.

◆ MODE_APPLICATION

const cache_store::MODE_APPLICATION = 1
inherited

Application caches.

These are shared caches.

◆ MODE_REQUEST

const cache_store::MODE_REQUEST = 4
inherited

Request caches.

Static caches really.

◆ MODE_SESSION

const cache_store::MODE_SESSION = 2
inherited

Session caches.

Just access to the PHP session.
