Craft 3 Version?

[mark-chief]

Will you be working on a Craft 3 version?

Hi Mark, there is actually already a much more solid tool for Craft 3 that is built on similar ideas to this one: https://github.com/ostark/upper

Hi Josh, Thanks, do you mean there is another plugin similar to Upper that is available? By the looks of things Upper doesnt bust the default craft {% cache %}(?)

[joshangell]

Sorry that was a bit unclear ... Upper is built on similar ideas to Cache Monster, in that it allows you to automatically bust caches that have dependencies, but it doesn’t support the core {% cache %} tag no, which I actually think is a good thing.

Piggy-backing off the core template caches means you are restricted by what they do, and in a lot of cases if you are starting to need Varnish or whatever in front of your site then you probably don’t want to be using the template caching anyway, for a variety of reasons.

OK I get ya.

Am just looking for something to bust the default {% cache %} tag when an entry is saved to prevent the client from having to manually clear cache when changes are made. Cache Monster worked well for this in craft 2.

Ah fair enough, well if you aren’t using the Varnish side of things then you should be fine with the core offering ... see here: https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/templating/tags/cache.html#cache-clearing
