ActionController is great, but could be better. Here are some tweaks for it.

Installation

gem 'action_controller_tweaks'

Usage

Either include it in specific controller or just ApplicationController

class SomeController
  include ActionControllerTweaks
end

#set_no_cache

I got the code from This Stack Overflow Answer
#expires_now is not good enough when I test a mobile version page with Chrome on iOS
Usage:

  # Just like using #expires_now
  set_no_cache

#set_session & #set_session_with_expiry

I write this on my own, it's ok to blame me if it's buggy :P
This method let's you set session, with expiry time!
It depends on before_filter/before_action to remove expired session keys
Valid options: expire_in, expires_in, expire_at, expires_at Example:

# Option keys are NOT checked
set_session(:key, 'value') # => Just like session[:key] = 'value'

set_session(:key, 'value', expire_in: 1.day)
set_session(:key, 'value', expires_in: 1.day)

set_session(:key, 'value', expire_at: 1.day.from_now)
set_session(:key, 'value', expires_at: 1.day.from_now)

# Option keys are checked
# You must pass valid options or error will be raised
set_session_with_expiry(:key, 'value', expires_in: 1.day)

Note: Please don't use the session key session_keys_to_expire, it's reserved for internal processing
