A gem for caching data in Redis.

This gem caches data from slow services in Redis

This gem is also able to encrypt the cached results with Fernet if required.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'greencache'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install greencache

Usage


Greencache.configure do |c|
  c.redis = $redis
  c.secret = <some_long_hash>
  c.encrypt = true
end

value = Greencache.cache "unique_cache_key" do
  call_to_slow_service
end
