require 'fileutils' require 'active_support/core_ext/class/attribute_accessors' 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 Action Pack. This is the fastest way to cache your content as opposed to going dynamically # through the process of 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 caches_page class method: # # class WeblogController < ActionController::Base # caches_page :show, :new # end # # This will generate cache files such as weblog/show/5.html and weblog/new.html, which match the URLs used # that would normally trigger dynamic page generation. Page caching works by configuring a web server to first check for the # existence of files on disk, and to serve them directly when found, without passing the request through to Action Pack. # This is much faster than handling the full dynamic request in the usual way. # # 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. module Pages extend ActiveSupport::Concern included do ## # :singleton-method: # 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.public_path (which is usually set to Rails.root + "/public"). Changing # this setting can be useful to avoid naming conflicts with files in public/, but doing so will likely require configuring your # web server to look in the new location for cached files. config_accessor :page_cache_directory self.page_cache_directory ||= '' ## # :singleton-method: # Most Rails requests do not have an extension, such as /weblog/new.

In cases where a request already has an # extension, such as .xml or .rss, page caching will not add an extension.
