+module ActionController #:nodoc:
+ module Caching
+ # Page caching is an approach to caching where the entire action output of is stored as a HTML file that the web server
+ # can serve without going through the Action Pack. This can be as much as 100 times faster than going through the process of dynamically
+ # generating the content. Unfortunately, this incredible speed-up is only available to stateless pages where all visitors
+ # are treated the same. Content management systems -- including weblogs and wikis -- have many pages that are a great fit
+ # for this approach, but account-based systems where people log in and manipulate their own data are often less likely candidates.
+ #
+ # Specifying which actions to cache is done through the <tt>caches</tt> class method:
+ #
+ # class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+ # caches_page :show, :new
+ # end
+ #
+ # This will generate cache files such as weblog/show/5 and weblog/new, which match the URLs used to trigger the dynamic
+ # generation. This is how the web server is able pick up a cache file when it exists and otherwise let the request pass on to
+ # the Action Pack to generate it.
+ #
+ # Expiration of the cache is handled by deleting the cached file, which results in a lazy regeneration approach where the cache
+ # is not restored before another hit is made against it. The API for doing so mimics the options from url_for and friends:
+ #
+ # class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
+ # def update
+ # List.update(params[:list][:id], params[:list])
+ # expire_page :action => "show", :id => params[:list][:id]
+ # redirect_to :action => "show", :id => params[:list][:id]
+ # end
+ # end
+ #
+ # Additionally, you can expire caches using Sweepers that act on changes in the model to determine when a cache is supposed to be
+ # expired.
+ #
+ # == Setting the cache directory
+ #
+ # The cache directory should be the document root for the web server and is set using Base.page_cache_directory = "/document/root".
+ # For Rails, this directory has already been set to RAILS_ROOT + "/public".
+ #
+ # == Setting the cache extension
+ #
+ # By default, the cache extension is .html, which makes it easy for the cached files to be picked up by the web server. If you want
+ # something else, like .php or .shtml, just set Base.page_cache_extension.
