Module CamlTemplate.Cache

module Cache: sig  end

Caches templates.

type t 

The type of template caches.

The type returned by a template source loader when it checks whether a template's source code has changed.

class type source_loader = object  end

An implementation of this class type can be used by a template cache to load template source code.

val as_source_loader : #source_loader -> source_loader

Upcasting function for CamlTemplate.Cache.source_loader.

val make_file_loader : template_dir:string -> source_loader

Returns a CamlTemplate.Cache.source_loader that loads template source code from files in a directory. The name of each template is used as the filename.

template_dir : the directory in which the template source files are located.

val create : ?loader:source_loader ->
       ?check_interval:float -> unit -> t

Creates a template cache.

loader : the source_loader that will be used to load template source code for the cache. If omitted, the cache uses a source_loader that loads template source code from the current working directory.

check_interval : the interval at which the template cache should be refreshed. The default is 5 minutes. If the interval is zero, the cache will be refreshed every time CamlTemplate.Cache.get_template is called. If the interval is negative, it will never be refreshed.

val get_template : cache:t -> template_name:string -> CamlTemplate.template

Given a cache and the name of a template, returns the template from the cache. If the template is not in the cache, it is loaded and cached.

If the cache is due to be refreshed, this method refreshes the cache (i.e. reloads any templates that have been modified since they were last loaded, and removes any deleted templates from the cache) before looking for the requested template.
Raises CamlTemplate.Syntax_error if a template cannot be parsed.
