Enables ZF2 apps to output ESI tags for a widgetized and highly cacheable application., (*1)
, (*2)
Requirements
Features
- ESI Widgets are added to an action via EsiWidget Controller Plugin
- EsiStrategy detects Surrogate Capability to choose EsiRenderer
- EsiRenderer renders child view models as ESI tags
- Falls back to PHPRenderer w/o Surrogate Capability i.e. works in dev!
Installation
It is recommended to add this module to your Zend Framework 2 application using Composer. After cloning ZendSkeletonApplication, add "socalnick/scn-esi-widget" to list of requirements, then run php composer.phar install/update. Your composer.json should look something like this:, (*3)
{
"name": "zendframework/skeleton-application",
"description": "Skeleton Application for ZF2",
"license": "BSD-3-Clause",
"keywords": [
"framework",
"zf2"
],
"homepage": "http://framework.zend.com/",
"require": {
"php": ">=5.3.3",
"zendframework/zendframework": "2.*",
"socalnick/scn-esi-widget": "1.*"
}
}
Next add the required modules to config/application.config.php:, (*4)
<?php
return array(
'modules' => array(
'Application',
'ScnEsiWidget',
),
'module_listener_options' => array(
'config_glob_paths' => array(
'config/autoload/{,*.}{global,local}.php',
),
'module_paths' => array(
'./module',
'./vendor',
),
),
);
Varnish
Installation
Varnish can be installed on any modern Linux distribution: https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/3.0/installation/ It is also available via Homebrew on Mac OSX for development by running brew install varnish, (*5)
Configuration
This is the most basic Varnish configuration for a development environment. It sets the backend host / port, sets a request header indicating Surrogate Capability, and looks for the response Surrogate Control header to initiate ESI handling. Before running Varnish in a production environment, I highly encourage you to learn more about it at https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs, (*6)
backend default {
.host = "127.0.0.1";
.port = "10088";
}
sub vcl_recv {
# Set a header announcing Surrogate Capability to the origin
# ScnEsiWidget sees this header and emits ESI tag for widgets
set req.http.Surrogate-Capability = "varnish=ESI/1.0";
}
sub vcl_fetch {
# Unset the Surrogate Control header and do ESI
if (beresp.http.Surrogate-Control ~ "ESI/1.0") {
unset beresp.http.Surrogate-Control;
set beresp.do_esi = true;
}
}
Usage
public function esiAction()
{
$viewModel = new ViewModel();
$this->esiWidget()->addToViewModel($viewModel, '/application/index/recent-tweets', 'recentTweets');
$headers = $this->getResponse()->getHeaders();
$cacheControl = new \Zend\Http\Header\CacheControl();
$cacheControl->addDirective('s-maxage', '60');
$headers->addHeader($cacheControl);
return $viewModel;
}
<div><?php echo $this->recentTweets ?></div>
public function recentTweetsAction()
{
$headers = $this->getResponse()->getHeaders();
$cacheControl = new \Zend\Http\Header\CacheControl();
$cacheControl->addDirective('s-maxage', '10');
$headers->addHeader($cacheControl);
$viewModel = new ViewModel();
$viewModel->setTerminal(true);
return $viewModel;
}
<ul>
<li><?php echo date('h:i:s')?> @SocalNick: This is a recent tweet!</li>
<li><?php echo date('h:i:s', time() - 10)?> @SocalNick: This is a slightly less recent tweet!</li>
</ul>
