item_tracker

Description

Item tracker extensions are used for tracking items of nodes so that webgen can do partial website generation. Only those nodes where at least one item has changed are re-generated.

All built-in extensions use item trackers to ensure the correct re-generation of a website. If one creates custom extensions or uses template engine for customization of a website, use of the correct item trackers should be considered to ensure correct website re-generation.

Information about how to create an item tracker is found in the Webgen::ItemTracker API documentation.
