Static file caching for Craft 3
Installing
(Please see section below for instructions on setting up the cron job to clear cache for future or expiring entries)
Composer
From the command line run:
composer require buzzingpixel/craft-static
After installing via composer, go to your Craft CP > Settings > Plugins and install Craft Static.
Craft Plugin Store
The other way is through the plugin store in the Craft CP.
Configuration
There are two globally configurable options:
cachePath
- defaults to$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'cache'
nixBasedClearCache
- defaults totrue
. Leave set to true on Unix based systems because it clears the cache by executingrm -rf
which is much faster. Otherwise, PHP has to iterate through each file and directory in the cache path and delete them individually, which can take some time.
Usage
Usage in Twig
The entire contents of your HTML output should be wrapped in the {% static %}
tag so it's best to put this in the outermost layout file. You can also specify whether the tag should actually cache or not so you can disable caching in some scenarios and still wrap your entire contents in the tag.
Example:
Alternative usage in a controller
If you would like to use a controller to render your output, or otherwise statically cache from PHP, you can use:
A full(er) example:
Cache clearing
The cache will be purged any time an element is saved. It can also be cleared manually from the CP's Utilites > Clear Caches section.
Cache Clearing via command line
The cache can be cleared from the command line, but note that you must define the cachePath
via custom config because $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
is not defined when running on the console and you might end up deleting things on the server you didn't mean to. You can use a config setting something like this:
To purge static cache from the command line, run: ./craft craft-static/cache/purge
Cron job
Craft Static keeps track of future and expiring entries but in order for Craft Static to clear the static cache when an entry expires or it's previously future post date because past, you need to be running a cron job every minute. That command is:
Here's an example of what that cron job might look like:
