When using the virtual pages how often and when is the api called?

[bnomei]

not having to write custom cache logic i created a wrapper plugin around the core methods. might be useful if you intend to use it a few times in different places.

GitHub - bnomei/kirby3-lapse: Cache any data until set expiration time

about delaying it per hour:

Cache or content representation for more efficient, continual page queries

the laspe plugin can devalidate a cache every 30 minutes just fine. just provide a custom key as well as the objects to be tracked. $key30Minutes = date('YmdH') . ( (date('i') > 30 ) ? '30' : '00' ) ; $data = Lapse::io( [$key30Minutes, $page, $collection], // will create key from array of objects function () use ($page, $collection) { // ... generate data based on current time... 3pm, 4pm whatever } );
