+module ActionView
+ # = Action View Cache Helper
+ module Helpers
+ module CacheHelper
+ # This helper exposes a method for caching fragments of a view
+ # rather than an entire action or page. This technique is useful
+ # caching pieces like menus, lists of newstopics, static HTML
+ # fragments, and so on. This method takes a block that contains
+ # the content you wish to cache.
+ #
+ # The best way to use this is by doing key-based cache expiration
+ # on top of a cache store like Memcached that'll automatically
+ # kick out old entries. For more on key-based expiration, see:
+ # http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3113-how-key-based-cache-expiration-works
+ #
+ # When using this method, you list the cache dependency as the name of the cache, like so:
+ #
+ # <% cache project do %>
+ # <b>All the topics on this project</b>
+ # <%= render project.topics %>
+ # <% end %>
+ #
+ # This approach will assume that when a new topic is added, you'll touch
+ # the project. The cache key generated from this call will be something like:
+ #
+ # views/projects/123-20120806214154/7a1156131a6928cb0026877f8b749ac9
+ # ^class ^id ^updated_at ^template tree digest
+ #
+ # The cache is thus automatically bumped whenever the project updated_at is touched.
+ #
+ # If your template cache depends on multiple sources (try to avoid this to keep things simple),
+ # you can name all these dependencies as part of an array:
+ #
+ # <% cache [ project, current_user ] do %>
+ # <b>All the topics on this project</b>
+ # <%= render project.topics %>
+ # <% end %>
+ #
+ # This will include both records as part of the cache key and updating either of them will
+ # expire the cache.
+ #
+ # ==== Template digest
+ #
+ # The template digest that's added to the cache key is computed by taking an md5 of the
+ # contents of the entire template file. This ensures that your caches will automatically
+ # expire when you change the template file.
+ #
+ # Note that the md5 is taken of the entire template file, not just what's within the
+ # cache do/end call. So it's possible that changing something outside of that call will
+ # still expire the cache.
+ #
+ # Additionally, the digestor will automatically look through your template file for
+ # explicit and implicit dependencies, and include those as part of the digest.
+ #
+ # The digestor can be bypassed by passing skip_digest: true as an option to the cache call:
+ #
+ # <% cache project, skip_digest: true do %>
+ # <b>All the topics on this project</b>
+ # <%= render project.topics %>
+ # <% end %>
+ #
+ # ==== Implicit dependencies
+ #
+ # Most template dependencies can be derived from calls to render in the template itself.
+ # Here are some examples of render calls that Cache Digests knows how to decode:
+ #
+ # render partial: "comments/comment", collection: commentable.comments
+ # render "comments/comments"
+ # render 'comments/comments'
+ # render('comments/comments')
+ #
+ # render "header" => render("comments/header")
+ #
+ # render(@topic) => render("topics/topic")
+ # render(topics) => render("topics/topic")
+ # render(message.topics) => render("topics/topic")
+ #
+ # It's not possible to derive all render calls like that, though. Here are a few examples of things that can't be derived:
+ #
+ # render group_of_attachments
+ # render @project.documents.where(published: true).order('created_at')
+ #
+ # You will have to rewrite those to the explicit form:
+ #
+ # render partial: 'attachments/attachment', collection: group_of_attachments
+ # render partial: 'documents/document', collection: @project.documents.where(published: true).order('created_at')
+ #
+ # === Explicit dependencies
+ #
+ # Some times you'll have template dependencies that can't be derived at all. This is typically
+ # the case when you have template rendering that happens in helpers. Here's an example:
+ #
+ # <%= render_sortable_todolists @project.todolists %>
+ #
+ # You'll need to use a special comment format to call those out:
+ #
+ # <%# Template Dependency: todolists/todolist %>
+ # <%= render_sortable_todolists @project.todolists %>
+ #
+ # The pattern used to match these is /# Template Dependency: ([^ ]+)/, so it's important that you type it out just so.
+ # You can only declare one template dependency per line.
+ #
+ # === External dependencies
+ #
+ # If you use a helper method, for example, inside of a cached block and you then update that helper,
+ # you'll have to bump the cache as well. It doesn't really matter how you do it, but the md5 of the template file
+ # must change. One recommendation is to simply be explicit in a comment, like:
+ #
+ # <%# Helper Dependency Updated: May 6, 2012 at 6pm %>
+ # <%= some_helper_method(person) %>
+ #
+ # Now all you'll have to do is change that timestamp when the helper method changes.
