Dragonfly::Cache::Plugin

A simple local file cache plugin for the dragonfly image processing gem.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dragonfly-cache-plugin'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install dragonfly-cache-plugin

Require the gem somewhere in your code, for rails a good choice is config/initializers/dragonfly.rb

require 'dragonfly/plugin/cache'

And then add the plugin to your dragonfly config

Dragonfly.app.configure do
  url_format "/media/:sha/:name"
  plugin :dragonfly_cache public_path: Rails.root.join('public')
  ...
end

By default the UrlFormat adapter is used. It stores the generated files to the app.server.url_format config. You should configure your reverse proxy (NGINX, Apache etc) to try for the file first and then pass to the dragonfly server. Simple sample NGINX config:

location ~* ^/media/.*\.(png|jpe?g|webp) {
  root /var/www/app/public;
  expires 1y;
  add_header Cache-Control public;
  try_files $uri @backend; 
}

location @backend {
  include /etc/nginx/snippets/proxy_headers.conf;
  proxy_redirect off;
  proxy_pass http://app;
}

CAUTION: make sure to define the url_format before you register the plugin if you use the adapter url_format

You should also consider not using the plugin in test and development by e.g.

if Rails.application.config.action_controller.perform_caching
  plugin :dragonfly_cache, public_path: Rails.root.join('public')
end

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
