Overriding the cache folder

Gato GraphQL will cache its internal configuration to improve performance.

The cache works by storing files to disk, under folder wp-content/plugins/graphql-api/cache.

We can define a new location for the cache folder, such as when:

• We have removed writing permissions from under wp-content/plugins
• We rather place it under a different location, such as wp-content/uploads

​

Defining the new folder

Indicate the full path to the new cache folder, via either (in order of priority):

1. An environment variable CONTAINER_CACHE_DIR
2. Defining constant GATOGRAPHQL_CONTAINER_CACHE_DIR in wp-config.php:

// File wp-config.php
define( 'GATOGRAPHQL_CONTAINER_CACHE_DIR', '/path/to/cache' );Copy
