This is the API every Cache has to conform to.
The default behaviour is tailored for the Memory cache, override any behaviour as you need.
key may be a String or Symbol value is a Hash of serializable (as according to Marshal) objects
Every cache instance has to respond to:
::new() #cache_setup(hostname, username, appname, cachename) #cache_clear() #cache_delete(*keys) #cache_fetch(key, default = nil) #cache_store(key, value, options = {})
We are prefixing cache_ to make the intent clear and implementation easier, as there may be existing behaviour associated with the non-prefixed version.
Also note that we create one instance per cache name-space.
Remove all key/value pairs from the cache. Should behave as if delete had been called with all keys as argument.

# File lib/innate/cache/api.rb, line 44 def cache_clear clear end
Remove the corresponding key/value pair for each key passed. If removing is not an option it should set the corresponding value to nil.
If only one key was deleted, answer with the corresponding value. If multiple keys were deleted, answer with an Array containing the values.
NOTE: Due to differences in the underlying implementation in the
caches, some may not return the deleted value as it would mean another lookup before deletion. This is the case for caches on memcached or any database system.
@param [Object] key the key for the value to delete @param [Object] keys any other keys to delete as well @return [Object Array nil] @author manveru
# File lib/innate/cache/api.rb, line 63 def cache_delete(key, *keys) if keys.empty? if value = yield(key) value[:value] end else [key, *keys].map{|element| cache_delete(element) } end end
Answer with the value associated with the key, nil if not found or expired.
@param [Object] key the key for which to fetch the value @param [Object] default will return this if no value was found @return [Object] @see Innate::Cache#fetch Innate::Cache#[] @author manveru
# File lib/innate/cache/api.rb, line 81 def cache_fetch(key, default = nil) value = default if entry = yield(key) if expires = entry[:expires] if expires > Time.now value = entry[:value] else cache_delete(key) end else value = entry[:value] end end return value end
Executed after initialize and before any other method.
Some parameters identifying the current process will be passed so caches that act in one global name-space can use them as a prefix.
@param [String to_s] hostname the hostname of the machine @param [String to_s] username user executing the process @param [String to_s] appname identifier for the application @param [String to_s] cachename namespace, like ‘session’ or ‘action’ @author manveru
# File lib/innate/cache/api.rb, line 37 def cache_setup(hostname, username, appname, cachename) end
Set key to value.
options may be one of:
:ttl => time to live in seconds if given in Numeric infinite or maximum if not given
Usage:
Cache.value.store(:num, 3, :ttl => 20) Cache.value.fetch(:num) # => 3 sleep 21 Cache.value.fetch(:num) # => nil
@param [Object] key the value is stored with this key @param [Object] value the key points to this value @param [Hash] options for now, only :ttl => Fixnum is used. @see Innate::Cache#store Innate::Cache#[]= @author manveru
# File lib/innate/cache/api.rb, line 116 def cache_store(key, value, options = {}) ttl = options[:ttl] value_hash = {:value => value} value_hash[:expires] = Time.now + ttl if ttl yield(key, value_hash) return value end
