Class: Merb::Cache::AbstractStrategyStore

Defined in:

Overview

A strategy store wraps one or more fundamental stores, acting as a middle man between caching requests.

For example, if you need to save memory on your Memcache server, you could wrap your MemcachedStore with a GzipStore. This would automatically compress the cached data when put into the cache, and decompress it on the way out. You can even wrap strategy caches with other strategy caches. If your key was comprised of sensitive information, like a SSN, you might want to encrypt the key before storage. Wrapping your GzipStore in a SHA1Store would take care of that for you.

The AbstractStore class defines 9 methods as the API:

  • writable? (key, parameters = { }, conditions = { })
  • exists? (key, parameters = { })
  • read (key, parameters = { })
  • write (key, data = nil, parameters = { }, conditions = { })
  • write_all (key, data = nil, parameters = { }, conditions = { })
  • fetch (key, parameters = { }, conditions = { }, &blk)
  • delete (key, parameters = { })
  • delete_all
  • delete_all!

AbstractStrategyStore implements all of these with the exception of delete_all. If a strategy store can guarantee that calling delete_all on its wrapped store(s) will only delete entries populated by the strategy store, it may define the safe version of delete_all. However, this is usually not the case, hence delete_all is not part of the public API for AbstractStrategyStore.

- (Object) delete(key, parameters = {})

Deletes the entry for the key & parameter from the store.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

# File 'merb-cache/lib/merb-cache/stores/strategy/abstract_strategy_store.rb', line 118

def delete(key, parameters = {})
  raise NotImplementedError
end

- (Object) delete_all!

Deletes all entries for the key & parameters for the store. considered dangerous because strategy stores which call delete_all! on their context stores could delete other store's entries.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

end

- (Boolean?) exists?(key, parameters = {})

Returns true/false/nil based on if data identified by the key & parameters is persisted in the store.

Returns:

  • (Boolean, nil)

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

def exists?(key, parameters = {})
  raise NotImplementedError
end

- (Object) fetch(key, parameters = {}, conditions = {}) { ... }

Tries to read the data from the store. If that fails, it calls the block parameter and persists the result.

Yields:

  • If fetching the data fails, the return value of the block is persisted.

Returns:

  • Data read from the store, or the return value of the block if the store contents cannot be fetched.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

end

- (Object?) read(key, parameters = {})

Gets the data from the store identified by the key & parameters.

Returns:

  • (Object, nil) —

    nil if the entry does not exist.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

- (Boolean) writable?(key, parameters = {}, conditions = {})

Determines if the store is able to persist data identified by the key & parameters with the given conditions.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

end

- (Boolean?) write(key, data = nil, parameters = {}, conditions = {})

Persists the data so that it can be retrieved by the key & parameters. returns nil if it is unable to persist the data.

Returns:

  • (Boolean, nil) —

    True if successful or nil if the data cannot be persisted.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

- (true?) write_all(key, data = nil, parameters = {}, conditions = {})

Persists the data to all context stores.

Returns:

  • (true, nil) —

    nil if none of the stores were able to persist the data, true if at least one write was successful.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)
