Caching with Twig templates

[mattmoredev]

Does anyone know how to properly cache templates / queries in Coilpack using Twig templates?

In previous versions of ExpressionEngine I had used an add-on called Stash (https://github.com/croxton/Stash) which is now deprecated and the author has recommended using Coilpack with Twig templates.

I know that the ExpressionEngine documentation has parameters for caching in native templates, which looks something like:

{exp:channel:entries channel="news" cache="yes" refresh="10"}
{title}
{/exp:channel:entries}

I am trying to find the equivalent for Twig templates, I tried:

{% for entry in exp.channel.entries ({channel:'news', cache:'yes', refresh:'10'}) %}
{{entry.title}}
{% endfor %}

but for whatever reason my Twig templates don't seem to be caching that query at all (I see no difference in the elapsed_time between page loads). I've also tried passing cache:true instead of cache:'yes' and that doesn't seem to make a difference either, I don't see anything about caching parameters on the Coilpack documentation (https://expressionengine.github.io/coilpack-docs/docs/templates/tags/channel-entries).

I also see in the Twig documentation that they added a cache feature in v3.2:
https://twig.symfony.com/doc/3.x/tags/cache.html

{% cache "cache key" ttl(300) %}
Cached for 300 seconds
{% endcache %}

but when I try this code example in the latest version of Coilpack I get an error 'Unknown "cache" tag.' So I am guessing this is not supported in Coilpack as Coilpack looks to be pulling in an older version of Twig.

Can anyone recommend a strategy for caching in Coilpack using Twig templates? Some sections of my site have some pretty heavy queries and in previous versions of ExpressionEngine I would cache a lot of those. What I would love to be able to do is something like:

{% cache "cache key" ttl(300) %}
{% set results_from_query = exp.channel.entries({ ... }) %}
{% endcache %}

Any suggestions?

After some playing around I have found that the twig templates seem to require different parameters for caching, instead of passing cache="yes" and refresh="5" to cache for 5 minutes, it looks like the Twig templates actually pass the number of seconds in the cache parameter instead of yes/no (or true/false) and the refresh param is not needed

{% for entry in exp.channel.entries ({channel:'news', cache:300}) %}
{{entry.title}}
{% endfor %}

I was also able to get Twig caching working by installing the CacheExtension as per the notes at the bottom of https://twig.symfony.com/doc/3.x/tags/cache.html
