# Caching is a way to speed up slow ActiveResource queries by keeping the result of # an ActiveResource request around to be reused by subequest requests. Caching is # turned off by default. # # == Usage # # require 'cachable' # # module CachedResource # class Base < ActiveResource::Base # end # class ActiveResource::Connection # include Cachable # end # end # # # == Caching stores # # All the caching stores from ActiveSupport::Cache are available # as backends for caching. See the Rails rdoc for more information on # these stores # # Configuration examples ('off' is the default): # # CachedResource.connection.cache_store = :memory_store # CachedResource.connection.cache_store = ActiveSupport::Cache.lookup_store :file_store, "/path/to/cache/directory" # CachedResource.connection.cache_store = ActiveSupport::Cache.lookup_store :drb_store, "druby://localhost:9192" # CachedResource.connection.cache_store = ActiveSupport::Cache.lookup_store :mem_cache_store, "localhost" # CachedResource.connection.cache_store = MyOwnStore.new("parameter") # # Note: To ensure that caching is turned off, set CachedResource.connection.cache_store = :none # # FYI: You can use this with *any* active resource interface, not just Highrise. module Cachable def self.included(base) base.class_eval do include InstanceMethods alias_method_chain :get, :cache end end module InstanceMethods def cache_store @cache_store ||= nil end # Wrapper for lookup_store, with a couple of special options: # Passing +:none+ will turn off caching # Passing +:rails+ will use the default Rails/AS cache (whatever it happens to be) # Passing +nil+ will use the default cache from AS def cache_store=(store_option) @cache_store = case store_option when :none nil when :rails Rails.cache rescue ActiveSupport::Cache.lookup_store else ActiveSupport::Cache.lookup_store(store_option) end end def is_caching? !@cache_store.nil? end private def get_with_cache(path, headers = {}) return get_without_cache(path, headers) unless is_caching? fetch(path) { get_without_cache(path, headers) } end def cache_key(*args) args.to_s end def fetch(args, &block) cache_store.fetch(cache_key(args), &block).dup end end end
