HTTParty-Icebox - Caching for HTTParty

HTTParty-Icebox is no longer being maintained.

As I haven't used HTTParty for a long time, and don't like feeling bad about neglecting HTTParty-Icebox, I've decided to deprecate it. Check out CacheBar instead.

If you're interested in taking over let me know. I should still have my unfinished rewrite somewhere.

Cache responses in HTTParty models

You can install the latest Film Buff gem using RubyGems

gem install httparty-icebox

Alternatively you can check out the latest code directly from Github

git clone http://github.com/sachse/httparty-icebox.git

Enable caching with default values:

require 'httparty-icebox'

include HTTParty::Icebox

cache
# Use HTTParty's .get method as usual, the response will now be cached
cached_response = HTTParty.get("https://github.com/sachse/httparty-icebox")

Cache responses for 5 minutes on the system in the directory "/tmp":

require 'httparty-icebox'

include HTTParty::Icebox

cache :store => 'file', :timeout => 300, :location => '/tmp/'
# Use HTTParty's .get method as usual, the response will now be cached
cached_response = HTTParty.get("https://github.com/sachse/httparty-icebox")

• Martyn Loughran - Major parts of this code are based on the architecture of ApiCache.
• David Heinemeier Hansson - Other parts are inspired by the ActiveSupport::Cache in Ruby On Rails.
• Amit Chakradeo - For pointing out response objects have to be stored marshalled on FS.
• Marlin Forbes - For pointing out the query parameters have to be included in the cache key.
• ramieblatt - Original Memcached store.
