Brandon Keepers - I'm looking for recommendatio...
I'm looking for recommendations on caching data values in plugins. The tides plugin uses
navigation.position, but if I turn off instruments and restart the server, then I lose position. So I am thinking the plugin will just persist last known position to a json file in the plugin data dir and fall back to that if no position is available. Any other recommendations?3 Replies
Right now, I think that’s the best option. Take a look at the anchor alarm plugin, it persists some data that way.
…or implement a periodic save of the latest state in a simple json file
Is this for generic, global state or plugin internal data?
that's pretty much what I'm planning to do. It currently subscribes to
navigation.position on a fixed interval. So I'll just write that to json. Then on startup, if position is not available, fall back to reading from the plugin
