[Icons]: Suggestion: Disable the cache for local icons in DEV environment

[ThomasLandauer]

Would it be possible to disable the cache completely in DEV environment, so that it's not necessary to manually clear the cache after making changes to an SVG file?

[smnandre]

Entirely no, because we won't download icons every request.. but for local files some improvements would be possible I suppose..

I never had any trouble with local files, but I have my own habits, and very probably am "blind" to many many situations that deserve as much attention.

Could you describe your scenario so we can reproduce / see how to improve DX ? (where is the icon, how you render it, what happens in term of caching?)

[kbond]

Interesting, can we hook into what Symfony does for files in dev?

[ThomasLandauer]

Yes, I meant only for local icons - I now edited the title.

[smnandre]

I just checked the code. It may require quite a bit of work, because when we cache the icon, we don’t have any information about where it originally came from (file path or API).

Can https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/config/caching.html helps?

[smnandre]

It does, that's what @kbond implied i suppose (it's --partially-- how AssetMapper works for instance)

But that's where I say we'd need to change more than one class, as the CacheRegistry for now has no information about the file :)
