module Caching
# Action caching is similar to page caching by the fact that the entire
# output of the response is cached, but unlike page caching, every
- # request still goes through the Action Pack. The key benefit
- # of this is that filters are run before the cache is served, which
- # allows for authentication and other restrictions on whether someone

# caches_page :public
- # caches_action :index, :show, :feed

- # In this example, the public action doesn't require authentication,

module Caching
- # Fragment caching is used for caching various blocks within templates without caching the entire action as a whole. This is useful when
- # certain elements of an action change frequently or depend on complicated state while other parts rarely change or can be shared amongst multiple
- # parties. The caching is done using the cache helper available in the Action View. A template with caching might look something like:

# <% end %>
#
- # This cache will bind to the name of the action that called it, so if this code was part of the view for the topics/list action, you would
