Module: StaticActiveRecordContext

Defined in:
lib/static_active_record_context.rb

Overview

==StaticActiveRecordContext Simple module to extends technoweenie's rad ActiveRecordContext plugin http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/active_record_context/ to permanently cache active record data for the life of the class

As with active_record_context, only finds based on ids are cache hits, however id finders are the majority of calls from associations. If cache hits on fields and methods are needed, refer to acts_as_static_record

class TelephoneCarriers < ActiveRecord::Base extend StaticActiveRecordContext has_many :phone_numbers end

The following would exercise a cache hit phone_number.telephone_carrier

The static cache is available both inside and outside with_context block, where as the cache for typical records the context is only with the block.

PhoneNumber.with_context { PhoneNumber.find :all TelephoneCarriers.find :all }

phone = PhoneNumber.find_by_id(1) # not a cache hit phone.telephone_carrier # cache hit telephone_carrier = TelephoneCarrier.find(1) # cache hit
