XF 2.0 Does XF2 have anything like the XF1 simple cache?

[Jaxel]

A place where I can store innocuous data?

$discord = XenForo_Application::getSimpleCacheData('discord');

 

[Snog]

$simpleCache = $this->app->simpleCache();

$simpleCache['Your/Addon']['discord'] = $discord; // SET CACHE

$discord = $simpleCache['Your/Addon']['discord']; // GET CACHE

I also found the data registry:

\XF::registry()->set('discord', $discord);

Is there a reason to use the simple cache over the registry, or vice-versa?

The simple cache is pre loaded so reads from it have no query overhead. It’s also geared towards add on usage - it’s internally keyed by add on ID so data can be removed automatically on add on uninstall.

How do I access the simpleCache in templates?

{$xf.simpleCache.getSet('Your/AddOn').discord}
