Overview

This class should be extended to create new adapters for various backends. It is important that all subclasses call the initialize method in this base, otherwise things just will not work right.

This base class provides common functionality and an API for all adapters to be used with Cachetastic.

The default settings for all adapters are:

configatron.cachetastic.defaults.marshal_method = :none
configatron.cachetastic.defaults.expiry_swing = 0
configatron.cachetastic.defaults.default_expiry = 86400
configatron.cachetastic.defaults.debug = true
configatron.cachetastic.defaults.adapter = Cachetastic::Adapters::LocalMemory
logger = ::Logger.new(File.join(FileUtils.pwd, 'log', 'cachetastic.log'))
logger.level = ::Logger::DEBUG
configatron.cachetastic.defaults.logger = logger

See the README for more information on what each of those settings mean, and what are values may be used for each one.

Constructor Details

#initialize(klass) ⇒ Base

Creates a new adapter. It takes a class reference to tie the instance of the adapter to a particular class. Note that it is a class reference and not an instance reference.

Examples:

Cachetastic::Adapters::Base.new(User)

Adapters are configured using the Configatron gem.

Examples:

configatron.cachetastic.user.adapter = Cachetastic::Adapters::File
configatron.cachetastic.user.expiry_time = 5.hours
configatron.cachetastic.defaults.expiry_time = 24.hours

Refered to each adapter for its specific configuration settings.

#debug? ⇒ Boolean

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

end

#delete(key) ⇒ Object

This method MUST be implemented by a subclass!

The implementation of this method should take a key and remove an object, if it exists, from an underlying persistence store.

Raises:

  • (NoMethodError)

# File 'lib/cachetastic/adapters/base.rb', line 101

def delete(key)
  raise NoMethodError.new('delete')
end

#expire_all ⇒ Object

This method MUST be implemented by a subclass!

The implementation of this method is expected to delete all objects belonging to the associated cache from the underlying persistence store. It is NOT meant to delete ALL objects across ALL caches for the underlying persistence store. That would be very very bad!!

Raises:

  • (NoMethodError)

def expire_all
  raise NoMethodError.new('expire_all')
end

#get(key) ⇒ Object

This method MUST be implemented by a subclass!

The implementation of this method should take a key and return an associated object, if available, from the underlying persistence layer.

Raises:

  • (NoMethodError)

  else
    return value
  end
end

#set(key, value, expiry_time = configatron.cachetastic.defaults.default_expiry) ⇒ Object

This method MUST be implemented by a subclass!

The implementation of this method should take a key, a value, and an expiry time and save it to the persistence store, where it should live until it is either deleted by the user of the expiry time has passed.

Raises:

  • (NoMethodError)

  raise NoMethodError.new('set')
end

#transform_key(key) ⇒ Object

Allows an adapter to transform the key to a safe representation for it’s backend. For example, the key: ‘$*…123()%~q’ is not a key for the file system, so the Cachetastic::Adapters::File class should override this to make it safe for the file system.

  else
    return value
  end
end

#valid? ⇒ Boolean

This method MUST be implemented by a subclass!

The implementation of this method should return true if the adapter is in a valid state, and false if it is not.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
