Functions.cache.getRetryCached

Call as

Functions.cache.getRetryCached(cache, func, ...)

Record it as a dependency named Functions.cache.getRetryCached (accepting the completion does this), then call it by that name.

Also accepted under the former namespace utils.

What it does

Cache an observation after it returns a non-nil value; retry observations whose entire return tuple is nil. Uses the same exact argument keys as getCached.

Arguments

Name	Type	What it does
`cache`	`table \| nil`	Evaluation cache, or nil to bypass caching.
`func`	`function \| string`	Function or global function name to call.
`...`	`any`	Arguments forwarded unchanged to the observed function.

Returns

1	`...`	All original results, preserving nil positions and return count.

Editions

Built In helpers are registered on every edition. What differs is the game API they read; where one is missing the helper falls back or returns nil with a reason.

It reads no game API directly.

Example

local name = Functions.cache.getRetryCached(cache, GetSpellInfo, 774)
return name ~= nil

Dependencies

getCachedInternal → utils.getCachedInternal
