= SimpleMemoize
* http://github.com/JackDanger/simple_memoize/
Developed for and by the engineers at http://adPickles.com/
== DESCRIPTION:
Provides in-memory caching of any Ruby method. It's dead simple and won't get in the way of any of your code.
For something more robust that offers persistence try http://github.com/JackDanger/cached_values/
Documentation also available here: http://objectproxy.rubyforge.org/simple_memoize/
== USAGE:
There's only one method and it's usage is completely manual.
class Location
def geocoding(lat, long)
... complicated stuff goes here ..
end
memoize :geocoding
end
Now, when you try calling the geocoding method it might take a while the first time but the results of
that initial method call will be memoized (cached) into memory. The second time you call it the
results will return instantly.
Note: there is a separate memo of the method for each combination of arguments. So calling the
method a second time with different arguments will cause the method to execute fully.
location = Location.new
location.geocoding(45.123, 123.45) # will take a while
location.geocoding(45.123, 123.45) # will return immediately
location.geocoding(12.876, 76.914) # will take a while because these arguments haven't been memoized
location.geocoding(12.876, 76.914) # will return immediately
location.geocoding(45.123, 123.45) # will return immediately because it's still memoized from before
You can use this on all classes and modules.
Module Colorizable
def preferred_color
:blue
end
memoize :preferred_color
class << self
def colors
[:blue, :green]
end
memoize :colors
end
end
class House
include Colorizable
def paint
'do painting'
end
memoize :paint
class << self
def find_blues
.. find blue houses..
end
memoize :find_blues
end
end
# the following are all memoized:
Colorizable.colors
House.new.preferred_color
House.find_blues
House.new.paint
That's it. If you need anything different I recommend forking this library and bending it to your will.
