StatePersister implements a file-based persistent data storage.
It can be used to keep data available through multiple requests and sessions.
By default, StatePersister stores data in a file named 'state.bin' that is located {@link PathService::getStatePath()}.
To retrieve the data from StatePersister, call {@link load()}. To save the data, call {@link save()}.
A comparison among state persister, session and cache is as follows:
- Session: data persisting within a single user session.
- State Persister: data persisting through all requests/sessions (e.g. hit counter).
- Cache: volatile and fast storage. It may be used as storage medium for session or state persister.
Since server resource is often limited, be cautious if you plan to use StatePersister to store large amount of data. You should also consider using database-based persister to improve the throughput.
StatePersister is a core application component used to store global application state. It may be accessed via {@link WebApp::getStatePersister()}.
Craft overrides the default {@link \CStatePersister} so it can set a custom path at runtime for our state file.
