Overview

Silverstripe module for defining and processing garbage collection on Silverstripe applications.

Installation

composer require brettt89/silverstripe-garbage-collector

Basic Usage

The example below shows how you can enable and configure the VersionedCollector and ChangeSetCollector for your application.

---
Name: GarbageCollectors
---
SilverStripe\GarbageCollector\Collectors\VersionedCollector:
  # Increase Versioned keep limit to 10 records
  keep_limit: 10
  # Define base classes to collect versions for
  base_classes:
    - SilverStripe\CMS\Model\SiteTree

SilverStripe\GarbageCollector\Collectors\ChangeSetCollector:
  # Reduce ChangeSet lifetime to 10 days
  deletion_lifetime: 10

# Register collectors with service
SilverStripe\GarbageCollector\GarbageCollectorService:
  collectors:
    - 'SilverStripe\GarbageCollector\Collectors\VersionedCollector'
    - 'SilverStripe\GarbageCollector\Collectors\ChangeSetCollector'

# Queue a RecurringAllGarbageCollectorJob if there isn't one already. It will then re-queue itself to run once a day.
Symbiote\QueuedJobs\DataObjects\QueuedJobDescriptor:
  extensions:
    - 'SilverStripe\GarbageCollector\Extensions\QueuedJobDescriptorExtension'

The example setup will create a job that runs all garbage collectors every day after running dev build. It does this by calling GarbageCollectorService::inst()->process();.

You may also decide to do this with some other process (BuildTask with Crontab that calls GarbageCollectorService::inst()->process();)

Documentation

Garbage Collection is based on the idea of removal/processing of records and items that may not have native garbage collection. This should be extendable to work with any type of data set as long as there are corresponding processors.
