IronCache Ruby Client

Getting Started

1. Install the gem:

   gem install iron_cache

2. Setup your Iron.io credentials: http://dev.iron.io/articles/configuration/

3. Create an IronCache client object:

   @client = IronCache::Client.new

The Basics

Get a Cache object

You can have as many caches as you want, each with their own unique set of items.

@cache = @client.cache("my_cache")

Now you can use it:

Put an item in the cache:

item = @cache.put("mykey", "hello world!")
p item

Get an item from the cache:

item = @cache.get("mykey")
p item.value

Delete an item from the cache:

res = msg.delete # or @cache.delete("mykey")
p res

Increment an item in the cache:

msg = @cache.increment("mycounter", 1)
p res

Cache Information

cache = @iron_cache.cache("my_cache")
puts "name: #{cache.name}"
