module ActionController #:nodoc: module Caching # Fragment caching is used for caching various blocks within templates without caching the entire action as a whole. This is useful when # certain elements of an action change frequently or depend on complicated state while other parts rarely change or can be shared amongst multiple # parties. The caching is done using the cache helper available in the Action View. A template with caching might look something like: # # <b>Hello <%= @name %></b> # <% cache do %> # All the topics in the system: # <%= render :partial => "topic", :collection => Topic.find(:all) %> # <% end %> # # This cache will bind to the name of the action that called it, so if this code was part of the view for the topics/list action, you would # be able to invalidate it using <tt>expire_fragment(:controller => "topics", :action => "list")</tt>. # # This default behavior is of limited use if you need to cache multiple fragments per action or if the action itself is cached using # <tt>caches_action</tt>, so we also have the option to qualify the name of the cached fragment with something like: # # <% cache(:action => "list", :action_suffix => "all_topics") do %> # # That would result in a name such as "/topics/list/all_topics", avoiding conflicts with the action cache and with any fragments that use a # different suffix. Note that the URL doesn't have to really exist or be callable - the url_for system is just used to generate unique # cache names that we can refer to when we need to expire the cache. # # The expiration call for this example is: # # expire_fragment(:controller => "topics", :action => "list", :action_suffix => "all_topics") module Fragments # Given a key (as described in <tt>expire_fragment</tt>), returns a key suitable for use in reading, # writing, or expiring a cached fragment. If the key is a hash, the generated key is the return # value of url_for on that hash (without the protocol). All keys are prefixed with "views/" and uses # ActiveSupport::Cache.expand_cache_key for the expansion. def fragment_cache_key(key) ActiveSupport::Cache.expand_cache_key(key.is_a?(Hash) ? url_for(key).split("://").last : key, :views) end def fragment_for(buffer, name = {}, options = nil, &block) #:nodoc: if perform_caching if cache = read_fragment(name, options) buffer.concat(cache) else pos = buffer.length block.call write_fragment(name, buffer[pos..-1], options) end else block.call end end # Writes <tt>content</tt> to the location signified by <tt>key</tt> (see <tt>expire_fragment</tt> for acceptable formats) def write_fragment(key, content, options = nil) return content unless cache_configured? key = fragment_cache_key(key) self.class.benchmark "Cached fragment miss: #{key}" do cache_store.write(key, content, options) end content end # Reads a cached fragment from the location signified by <tt>key</tt> (see <tt>expire_fragment</tt> for acceptable formats) def read_fragment(key, options = nil) return unless cache_configured? key = fragment_cache_key(key) self.class.benchmark "Cached fragment hit: #{key}" do cache_store.read(key, options) end end # Check if a cached fragment from the location signified by <tt>key</tt> exists (see <tt>expire_fragment</tt> for acceptable formats) def fragment_exist?(key, options = nil) return unless cache_configured? key = fragment_cache_key(key) self.class.benchmark "Cached fragment exists?: #{key}" do cache_store.exist?(key, options) end end # Removes fragments from the cache. # # +key+ can take one of three forms: # * String - This would normally take the form of a path, like # <tt>"pages/45/notes"</tt>. # * Hash - Treated as an implicit call to +url_for+, like # <tt>{:controller => "pages", :action => "notes", :id => 45}</tt> # * Regexp - Will remove any fragment that matches, so # <tt>%r{pages/\d*/notes}</tt> might remove all notes. Make sure you # don't use anchors in the regex (<tt>^</tt> or <tt>$</tt>) because # the actual filename matched looks like # <tt>./cache/filename/path.cache</tt>.
