This project is an example of using Codeigniter with a full page cache and dynamic content. The different forms will effect the data that is displayed on other pages. This project demonstrates how both browser cache and an object cache (redis) can be leveraged to speed up even the most dynamic data driven php applications without the need for a reverse proxy cache like varnish nginx or squid which can be overkill in certain situations.
This application shows how page cache can be used with dynamic content. Each Controller has pages that are cached for up to 4 hours. When forms are submitted the page is then cleared from cache along with any other pages that would be effected by the new data. For example... if I were to add a new part to a car the car list page as well as the car parts list page and the parts list pages would all be removed from cache because the data on that page should change.
Dynamic messages and csrf tokens are loaded through ajax so that flash messages can still be used and forms can still be submitted see all.js file in /static/ folder for details and getCsrfToken function in the car controller.
