Instance Method Details

#cache_method(method_id, ttl = nil) ⇒ Object

Cache a method. TTL in seconds, defaults to whatever’s in CacheMethod.config.default_ttl

Note: Remember to define #hash on any object whose instance methods might get cached.

Note 2: Check out CacheMethod.config.default_ttl… the default is 24 hours.

Example:

class Blog
  # [...]
  def get_latest_entries
    sleep 5
  end
  # [...]
  cache_method :get_latest_entries
  # if you wanted a different ttl...
  # cache_method :get_latest_entries, 800 #seconds
end
