Hi

I've created function that extends ezjscServerFunctions in order to generate some js/css on the fly. But I don't want the result to be cached

I've seen the method getCacheTime( $functionName ), seems to be designed for this, however it doesn't seem to work.
In fact I can read on http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore, in the TODO section:
* template handlers does not let you specify expiry time like static files (modified time) and php handlers do ( ::getCacheTime )

but not sure this information is up to date, any idea ?

You'll find below a simple code for testing:
If I comment the getCacheTime block, the js shows an alert on the time (but always the same time because of cache)
And if I uncomment it, then The js code is not inserted at all in the global .js file..

Any idea is welcome !

class dmvServerFunctions extends ezjscServerFunctions


{


   public static function getCacheTime( $functionName )


   {


       return -1;


   }


 

   public static function dojo_load( $args )


   {


       $time = time();


       return "alert('time is: $time');";


   }


}

-1 is special case, it's used for dynamic calls like ::yui3 that don't actually generate any content them self, but manipulates the array of included files dynamically.

If you want it to always invalidate, then you could use "return time();". But then it will cache the file to disk and update it on every call, not efficient. So best (if you have to use ezjscore for this, might be creating a template operator for this case is better then use a js packer and ask it to not cache it is a bit indirect approach :) ) is probably to use ezscript('my::function',,,,0) to disable packing for this specific call so it is included inline in the html.
