Can I cache a component based on **parameter** ?

I have a component:    <component id="example-component" category="foo"/> <component id="example-component" category="bar"/> <component id="example-component" category="baz"/>     and I'd like...

    Yes, the calls to setCacheVariations are at the wrong place as far as I understand the doc (Big caveat: I never used it myself, so just interpreting the docs). They state:

    When you create custom variations of the markup cache:

    • Create a wrapper component
    • Define all variations in the wrapper component using componentCacheSupport
    • Call the child component to be cached from within the wrapper component using the component directive

    So you actually need two components:

    1. The wrapper component which sets the cache variation context object by calling something like the following (if you only include this component on a category page as in that case the node's id is the category id. If you want to include the component elsewhere you first need to Get ID of current category )

     

     ${componentCacheSupport.setCacheVariation("category_var", coreNode.id)}​

     

    • Your actual component which gets cached and which just refers to that variation as you already have it shared in your

     

    <@liaMarkupCache​>

Ahh ok,

 

So in the wrapper component, define all variations like:

${componentCacheSupport.setCacheVariation("category_var", "foo")}​
${componentCacheSupport.setCacheVariation("category_var", "bar")}​
${componentCacheSupport.setCacheVariation("category_var", "baz")}​

 

Then in the inner component, effectively:

Component 1: 
<@liaMarkupCache ttl="60000" variation="foo" anonymousOnly="false" />

Component 2:
<@liaMarkupCache ttl="60000" variation="bar" anonymousOnly="false" />

Component 3:
<@liaMarkupCache ttl="60000" variation="baz" anonymousOnly="false" />

 

Am I on a better or worse train of thought?

Wrapper component is fine, but for the inner component: There doesn't need to be different components with adjusted caching code. Use the same component for all variations, but you will be passing the variation variable name (not the actual variation name) as a parameter for the markup cache function. E.g. use this for the inner component cache

 

 

<@liaMarkupCache ttl="60000" variation="category_var" anonymousOnly="false" />
