ActiveMemoize

ActiveMemoize provides an API caching and memoizing local expensive calculations including those with parameters.

The flexible API allows you to memoize results using class or instance level cache.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'active_memoize'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install active_memoize

Klass

Class level memoization is the quickest way to get up and running using your cache, but provides the least amount of flexibility. You can only cache results without access to any information about your cache.

class Movies
  extend ActiveMemoize::Klass

  def random
    HTTP.get('http://movies.com/any')
  end

  memoize :random

  def search(title)
    HTTP.get("http://movies.com?title=#{title}")
  end

  memoize :search, as: :find

end

Instance

Instance level memoization is a more involved way to setup your cache, but provides the most amount of flexibility. You can access almost all methods in the instance.rb file.

class Movies

  def cache
    @cache ||= ActiveMemoize::Instance.new
  end

  def all
    cache.memoize { HTTP.get("http://movies.com/all") }
  end

  def random
    cache['random'] ||= HTTP.get('http://movies.com/any')
  end

  def search(title)
    cache.memoize(as: :find, refresh: !cache.empty?) do
      HTTP.get("http://movies.com?title=#{title}")
    end
  end

end
