Faraday::ManualCache

IMPORTANT: This gem hasn't been actively maintained in quite some time, I strongly recommend looking into alternatives!

A super simple Faraday cache implementation.

Unlike faraday-http-cache, faraday-manual-cache ignores cache headers in favor of a manually-specified expires_in.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'faraday-manual-cache'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install faraday-manual-cache

Create a configuration file and select your memory store class. If you use Rails, just create an initializator.

FaradayManualCache.configure do |config|
  config.memory_store = ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore.new
end

Super simple example that caches using the default store (MemoryStore) for the default expires_in (30 seconds):

require 'faraday'
require 'faraday-manual-cache'

connection = Faraday.new(url: 'http://example.com') do |builder|
  builder.use :manual_cache
  builder.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
end

The middleware currently takes several options:

• conditions: Conditional caching (default GET and HEAD requests).
• cache_key: Key for requests comparison (default URL)
• expires_in: Cache expiry, in seconds, either as a value or a lambda (default: 30 seconds).
• logger: Specify a logger to enable logging.

So a more complicated example would be:

require 'faraday'
require 'faraday-manual-cache'

connection = Faraday.new(url: 'http://example.com') do |builder|
  builder.use :manual_cache,
              conditions: ->(env) { env.method == :get },
              cache_key: ->(env) { "prefix-#{env.url}" },
              expires_in: ->(env) { env.status * 10 },
              logger: Rails.logger
  builder.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
end

As with faraday-http-cache it's recommended that faraday-manual-cache be fairly low in the middleware stack.

1. Fork it ( http://github.com/dobs/faraday-manual-cache/fork )
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request
