method_caching
method_caching is a simple Ruby library for caching instance method of a class (using Rails.cache as cache store)
Installation
gem install method_caching
or add to Gemfile
gem "method_caching"
Usage
With ActiveRecord
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
method_caching
def full_name
"#{first_name} #{last_name}"
end
cache_method :full_name, clear_on: :save # Clear cache for method full_name whenever method 'save' is called
end
Without ActiveRecord (Mongoid, etc)
class User
include MethodCaching::Generic
method_caching
def full_name
"#{first_name} #{last_name}"
end
cache_method :full_name, clear_on: :save # Clear cache for method full_name whenever method 'save' is called
end
Custom Identifier
By default, method_caching will use the record's id as the default identifier to generate the cache key. You can change the default identifier by passing custom identifier
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
method_caching :custom_identifier
end
Contributing to method_caching
- Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
- Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
- Fork the project.
- Start a feature/bugfix branch.
- Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
- Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
