Context Cache

In this section, you will learn how to use context cache to speed up your application..

Without context cache every time you retrieve entities queries to MySQL or/and Redis are executed. By default fluxaorm.Context does not use context (locac) cache to store retrieved entities. So next time you retrieve the same entity from the database, it will be retrieved again from DB/Redis. For example:

orm := engine.NewContext(context.Background())
user, _ := orm.GetById[UserEntity](orm, 1) // executes request do DB/Redis
...
user, _ = orm.GetById[UserEntity](orm, 1) // executes request do DB/Redis

Enabling Context Cache

You can enable context cache by running EnableContextCache():

orm := engine.NewContext(context.Background())
orm.EnableContextCache() // from now on, every entity will be stored and retrieved from context cache

Clearing Context Cache

You can clear context cache by running ClearCache():

orm := engine.NewContext(context.Background())
orm.EnableContextCache()
user, _ := orm.GetById[UserEntity](orm, 1) // executes request do DB/Redis
orm.ClearCache()
user, _ := orm.GetById[UserEntity](orm, 1) // executes request do DB/Redis

You should clear context cache in case you are uisng context for a long time to avoid using data that is not up to date. So you should use context cache only for short time such as a single API request. In case of a long running process you should use a separate context for each scope of work.
