#client ⇒ ActiveSupport::Cache::Subclass

returns a Rails cache client. This has not to be stored since rails already memoizes it. Use this client to access rails cache data. For further explanation of use visit the rails documentation

Examples:

Exchange::Cache::Rails.client.set('FOO', 'BAR')

Returns:

  • (ActiveSupport::Cache::Subclass) —

    an instance of the rails cache class (presumably a subclass of ActiveSupport::Cache)
