Thanks!

Caching in Rails

Rails has wonderful inbuilt caching methods. This is how i implemented caching for a particular action.   Requirement : Cache a page for 12 hours. After 12 hrs Caching must expire.   before_filter :clear_cache   caches_action :index, :layout => false def index       #code     # Write expiry time to cache (12 hours)     Rails.cache.write('expiry_time', Time.now + 12.hours) end def clear_cache     #Fetch time from cache and check with current time     t = Rails.cache.fetch('expiry_time') || Time.now     t = Time.parse(t) if t.is_a?(String)     # Expire action if current time > Cached time     expire_action :action => :index if Time.now > t  end Thanks!
