Cachers

Dedicated classes to isolate redis logic in rails.

Why

I did this gem to:

• Prevent models to have too much code.
• Have a convention of how to use cache in models.
• Increase atomization in complex projects.

Install

Put this line in your Gemfile:

gem 'cachers'

Then bundle:

$ bundle

Usage

Definitions

Generate a cacher for a model:

$ bundle exec rails g cacher like

Add the logic to the cache and uncache methods:

class LikeCacher < Cachers::Base

  def cache
    sadd key, record.product.id
  end

  def uncache
    srem key, record.product.id
  end

  private

  def key
    "users/#{record.user.id}/likes"
  end

end

NOTE: Updates work automatically, there is no need to add a method to replace values.

Custom methods

You may want to add some other methods related to the cache:

class UserCacher < Cachers::Base

  def likes?(product)
    sismember key, product.id
  end

  private

  def key
    "users/#{record.id}/likes"
  end

end

The public methods will be available to call directly from the model:

user.likes? product

Cache management

If you want to manually control the cache, you can use this methods:

user.cache
user.recache
user.uncache

Or to it for all cacheable records:

$ bundle exec rake cachers:cache
$ bundle exec rake cachers:recache
$ bundle exec rake cachers:uncache

Contributing

Any issue, pull request, comment of any kind is more than welcome!

I will mainly ensure compatibility to Rails, AWS, PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch and FreeBSD.
