Module: Twigg::Cacher

Extended by:
Dependency
Defined in:
lib/twigg/cacher.rb

Overview

The Cacher module is an abstraction around caching that offers two public methods, Cacher.get and Cacher.set.

If the twigg-cache gem is installed and enabled, delegates the storing of cached items to Memcached. In the absence of the gem, every cache lookup is treated as a miss.

Class Method Details

.get(key, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Gets stored value for key; in the event of a cache miss, yields to block, and caches and returns the result. *args, if present, are hashed and appended to key to permit the results of different calls to the same method to be conveniently stored and retrieved independently.

Note: if a nil or false value is ever stored in the cache, this method will consider any lookup of the corresponding key to be a miss, because we employ a simple truthiness check to determine presence.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

def get(key, *args, &block)
  raise ArgumentError, 'block required by not given' unless block_given?
  digest = hashed_key_and_args(key, *args)
  client.get(digest) || set(key, *args, &block)
end

.set(key, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Stores the result of yielding to block in the cache, with key as key, and returns the result.

As with get, any *args, if present, are hashed and appended to the key to premit the results of different calls to the same method to be conveniently stored and retrieved independently.
