=====
Cache
=====
.. class:: Cache(name[, size_limit[, duration[, context]]])
The class is used to cache values between server requests. The ``name`` should
be unique and it's used to identify the cache. We usually use
``<class_name>.<content_name>`` to make it unique. The ``size_limit`` parameter
can be used to limit the number of values cached and it has 1024 as the default
value. The ``duration`` parameter defines how long a cached value stays valid
but if it is not set the value remains valid until it is cleared. And the
``context`` parameter is used to indicate if the cache depends on the user
context and is true by default. The cache is cleaned on :class:`Transaction`
starts and resets on :class:`Transaction` commit or rollback.
.. warning::
As there is no deepcopy of the values cached, they must never be mutated
after being set in or retrieved from the cache.
..
.. attribute:: hit
Count the number of times the cache returned a cached value.
.. attribute:: miss
Count the number of times the cache did not contain the key.
.. classmethod:: stats()
Yield statistics for each instance.
.. method:: get(key[, default])
Retrieve the value of the key in the cache. If a ``default`` is specified it
will be returned when the key is missing otherwise it will return ``None``.
.. method:: set(key, value)
Sets the ``value`` of the ``key`` in the cache.
.. method:: clear()
Clears all the keys in the cache.
.. classmethod:: clear_all()
Clears all cache instances.
.. classmethod:: sync(transaction)
Synchronize cache instances using transaction.
.. method:: sync_since(value)
Return ``True`` if the last synchronization was done before ``value``.
.. classmethod:: commit(transaction)
Apply cache changes from transaction.
.. classmethod:: rollback(transaction)
Remove cache changes from transaction.
.. classmethod:: drop(dbname)
Drops all the caches for database ``dbname``
.. note::
By default Tryton uses a MemoryCache, but this behaviour can be overridden
by setting a fully qualified name of an alternative class defined in the
configuration ``class`` of the ``cache`` section.
