Caching#

Object caching#

All functions that provide data to templates must have no side effects, as the value is cached after first access. For example, this controller method will not behave as you might imagine.

	private $counter = 0;

	public function Counter() {
	    $this->counter += 1;

	    return $this->counter;
	}

	$Counter, $Counter, $Counter

	// returns 1, 1, 1

$Counter is cached at the first access, the value of 1 is saved.

Partial caching#

Partial caching is a feature that allows the caching of just a portion of a page. Instead of fetching the required data from the database to display, the contents of the area are fetched from the TEMP_FOLDER file-system pre-rendered and ready to go. More information about Partial caching is in the Performance guide.
