= CachedModel Rubyforge Project: http://rubyforge.org/projects/rctools/ Documentation: http://dev.robotcoop.com/Libraries/cached_model/ == About CachedModel stores Rails ActiveRecord objects in memcache allowing for very fast retrievals. CachedModel uses the ActiveRecord::Locking to ensure that you don't perform multiple updates. == CachedModel Doesn't... CachedModel is not magic. CachedModel only accelerates simple finds for single rows. CachedModel won't cache every query you run. CachedModel isn't smart enough to determine the dependencies between your queries so that it can accelerate more complicated queries. Without these smarts you'll only end up with a broken application. If you want to cache more complicated queries you need do it by hand. == Using CachedModel First, install the cached_model gem: $ sudo gem install cached_model Then set up memcache-client for CachedModel by setting CACHE in your config/environment files: CACHE = MemCache.new 'localhost:11211', :namespace => 'my_rails_app' You will need separate namespaces for production and development, if you are using memcache on the same machine. Note that using memcache with tests will cause test failures, so set your memcache to be readonly for the test environment. Then make Rails load the gem: $ tail -n 4 config/environment.rb # Include your application configuration below require 'cached_model' Then edit your ActiveRecord model to inherit from CachedModel instead of ActiveRecord::Base: $ head -n 8 app/models/photo.rb ## # A Photo from Flickr. class Photo < CachedModel belongs_to :point belongs_to :route == Extra Features === Local Cache CachedModel also incorporates an in-process cache, but it is disabled by default. In order to enable the in-process cache enable it in your environment.rb: CachedModel.use_local_cache = true And add a after_filter that flushes the local cache: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base after_filter { CachedModel.cache_reset } end IF YOU DO NOT ADD THE AFTER FILTER YOU WILL EXPERIENCE EXTREME PROCESS GROWTH. === Memcache Memcache may be disabled and the TTL for objects stored in memcache may be changed: CachedModel.use_memcache = false CachedModel.ttl = 86400 The default TTL for memcache objects is 900 seconds.
