\Pluswerk\CacheAutomation\Service\Configuration::getInstance()->addAgentForTables(
    ['tx_news_domain_model_news'], // database table name
    \Pluswerk\CacheAutomation\Agents\SimplePluginAgent::class, // cache agent
    [
        // cache agent configuration
        'pluginKeys' => ['news_pi1'],
    ]
);

Available cache agents

SimplePluginAgent

This agent flush the cache of all pages which have a content element with the given plugin keys.

\Pluswerk\CacheAutomation\Service\Configuration::getInstance()->addAgentForTables(
    ['tx_news_domain_model_news'],
    \Pluswerk\CacheAutomation\Agents\SimplePluginAgent::class,
    [
        'pluginKeys' => ['news_pi1'],
    ]
);

PageRootlineAgent

This agent flush the cache of all pages which are in the TYPO3 "rootline" of the given pages.

\Pluswerk\CacheAutomation\Service\Configuration::getInstance()->addAgentForTables(
    ['tx_news_domain_model_news'],
    \Pluswerk\CacheAutomation\Agents\PageRootlineAgent::class,
    [
        'rootPages' => [42, 316],
        'depth' => 99, // optional
        'begin' => 0, // optional
    ]
);

Use your own cache agent

You can simply use your own cache agent. It has to implement \Pluswerk\CacheAutomation\Agents\AgentInterface:

class MyMagicCacheAgent implements \Pluswerk\CacheAutomation\Agents\AgentInterface
{
    public function getExpiredPages(string $table, int $uid, array $agentConfiguration, array $changedFields): array
    {
        // doe some magic here and return all page uid's which caches should be flushed
        return [42, 316];
    }
}
