Usage
Now, in Ruby, require the library and instantiate a Memcached object at a global level:
require 'memcached'
$cache = Memcached.new("localhost:11211")Now you can set things and get things:
value = 'hello'
$cache.set 'test', value
$cache.get 'test' #=> "hello"You can set with an expiration timeout:
value = 'hello'
$cache.set 'test', value, 1
sleep(2)
$cache.get 'test' #=> raises Memcached::NotFoundYou can get multiple values at once:
value = 'hello'
$cache.set 'test', value
$cache.set 'test2', value
$cache.get ['test', 'test2', 'missing']
#=> {"test" => "hello", "test2" => "hello"}You can set a counter and increment it. Note that you must initialize it with an integer, encoded as an unmarshalled ASCII string:
$cache.increment 'counter' #=> 1
$cache.increment 'counter' #=> 2
$cache.get('counter').to_i #=> 2You can get some server stats:
$cache.stats #=> {..., :bytes_written=>[62], :version=>["1.2.4"] ...}Rails

config.cache_store = Memcached::Rails.new(:servers => ['127.0.0.1'])Benchmarks
