HTTP Caching |
RawPHP uses the optional standalone slimphp/Slim-HttpCache PHP component
for HTTP caching. You can use this component to create and return responses that
contain Cache, Expires, ETag, and Last-Modified headers that control
when and how long application output is retained by client-side caches. You may have to set your php.ini setting "session.cache_limiter" to an empty string in order to get this working without interferences.
Execute this bash command from your project's root directory:
RawPHP composer require slim/http-cache RawPHP
The slimphp/Slim-HttpCache component contains a service provider and an application
middleware. You should add both to your application like this:
Add the below to config/ContainerConfig.php
// Register service provider with the container
$container['cache'] = function () {
return new \Slim\HttpCache\CacheProvider();
}
// Add middleware to the application
Add the below to config/MiddlewareConfig.php
$app->add(new \Slim\HttpCache\Cache('public', 86400));
Use the service provider's withEtag() method to create a Response object
with the desired ETag header. This method accepts a PSR7 response object,
and it returns a cloned PSR7 response with the new HTTP header.
In your routes/routes.php you can do
$app->get('/foo', function ($req, $res, $args) {
$resWithEtag = $this->cache->withEtag($res, 'abc');
return $resWithEtag;
});
Use the service provider's withExpires() method to create a Response object
with the desired Expires header. This method accepts a PSR7 response object,
and it returns a cloned PSR7 response with the new HTTP header.
$app->get('/bar',function ($req, $res, $args) {
$resWithExpires = $this->cache->withExpires($res, time() + 3600);
return $resWithExpires;
});
Use the service provider's withLastModified() method to create a Response object
with the desired Last-Modified header. This method accepts a PSR7 response object,
and it returns a cloned PSR7 response with the new HTTP header.
//Example route with LastModified
$app->get('/foobar',function ($req, $res, $args) {
$resWithLastMod = $this->cache->withLastModified($res, time() - 3600);
return $resWithLastMod;
});
