Contao Future Cache Invalidation
================================

[](#contao-future-cache-invalidation)

Invalidates cache tags in the future for any DCA that has a `start` or `stop` field.

In Contao **5** you will only need to route the message manually:

```
# config/config.yaml
framework:
    messenger:
        routing:
            'InspiredMinds\ContaoFutureCacheInvalidation\Message\InvalidateCacheMessage': contao_prio_high
```

In Contao **4.13** you will also have to create a messenger transport, e.g.:

```
framework:
    messenger:
        transports:
            cache_invalidation: 'doctrine://default?queue_name=cache_invalidation'
        routing:
            'InspiredMinds\ContaoFutureCacheInvalidation\Message\InvalidateCacheMessage': cache_invalidation
```

If you use such a `doctrine://` transport you will also have to install `symfony/doctrine-messenger`:

```
composer require symfony/doctrine-messenger

```

Then you have to consume the messages somehow via

```
vendor/bin/contao-console messenger:consume cache_invalidation

```

e.g. via a `crontab` entry like this:

```
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/example.com/vendor/bin/contao-console messenger:consume cache_invalidation --time-limit=59 --quiet

```

There is still a caveat: the cache invalidation is based on the `contao.db.*.*` cache tags. However, this will not work for the `start` case, as the cache tag would be missing for that URL. For child elements like articles, content elements or news (child of a news archive) it will still work as the extension will also invalidate the tags of the parent. But for pages for example this would not be solved this way - i.e. when you have a `start` time for page, it would still not show up in the menu of cached pages. In this case the extension clears the *whole* cache instead.

*Note:* as this utilizes the Symfony Messenger with its `DelayStamp` it will only work for the following messenger transport types:

- `doctrine`
- `amqp`
- `redis`

There is also a command with which you can create these future cache invalidation messages for all existing database entries after installation:

```
vendor/bin/contao-console contao_future_cache_invalidation:create-messages

```
