CustomRedis

CustomRedis is based on Redis-backend library for creating easily a simple custom cache stores . It allows you to improve your application caching several kind of elements you'll use with the front-end as counters, hashes created from Active Record relations.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'custom_redis'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install custom_redis

Usage

The gem allows you to manage { key: value } elements easily autogenerating unique keys from ActiveRecord instances on a Redis server which must be running. If you have no idea how Redis works, please check Redis's homepage: First of all, after adding the gem to the Gemfile, you have to create the initializer CustomRedis.rb and add this line to start using custom_redis

    CustomRedis.new

It'll create the global $custom_redis variable. It's accesible from any part of your app to use all Redis functionabilities. Otherwise CustomRedis allows you to forget several methods and manage a cache quickly.

    employer = Employer.find_by_id(35)

    #Returns a { key: value } element
    my_custom_redis_element = CustomRedis.cr_eval(employer, :get_agreements,:build_html_resume)
    #Returns a { key: value } element
    my_custom_redis_selements = CustomRedis.cr_eval(employer, :get_agreements,:build_html_resume, :set)
    my_custom_redis_deleted_key = CustomRedis.cr_delete(employer, :get_agreements,:build_html_resume)
    my_custom_redis_flushed_keys = CustomRedis.cr_flush('employer*get_agreements*build_html_resume')

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
