README

Disables the store-api object cache layer in Shopware 6.6.

Why

Many store-api routes have a cache decorator — e.g. CachedProductDetailRoute wraps ProductDetailRoute and stores responses in the cache.object pool. This plugin disables the content routes whose payloads are heavy and fully covered by an HTTP cache:

• the product routes (detail, listing, search, suggest, review, cross-selling),
• navigation and category,
• landing page, and
• sitemap.

The lightweight system/checkout routes (language, country, currency, salutation, payment, shipping) are intentionally left cached.

When an HTTP cache (reverse proxy such as Varnish/Fastly, or the Symfony HTTP cache) sits in front of the shop, store-api responses are already cached at the HTTP layer. The object cache underneath then only adds:

• serialization / compression overhead on every request,
• an extra cache roundtrip, and
• a second invalidation surface that has to be kept in sync.

This plugin removes that redundant layer so the original, undecorated routes are used directly.

Installation

composer require swag/disable-store-api-cache
bin/console plugin:refresh
bin/console plugin:install --activate SwagDisableStoreAPICache
bin/console cache:clear

Verify the decorators are gone:

bin/console debug:container CachedProductDetailRoute   # should report "not found"

Compatibility

• Requires Shopware 6.6 (shopware/core: ~6.6.0).
• Not needed on Shopware 6.7+. These Cached*Route decorators are deprecated in 6.6 (@deprecated tag:v6.7.0 - reason:decoration-will-be-removed) and have been removed entirely in 6.7 as part of the cache rework — there is no store-api object cache layer to disable there. Do not install this plugin on 6.7 or later.
