Overview

Fragment caching is used for caching various blocks within views without caching the entire action as a whole. This is useful when certain elements of an action change frequently or depend on complicated state while other parts rarely change or can be shared amongst multiple parties. The caching is done using the #cache helper available in the Action View. See ::ActionView::Helpers::CacheHelper for more information.

While it’s strongly recommended that you use key-based cache expiration (see links in CacheHelper for more information), it is also possible to manually expire caches. For example:

expire_fragment('name_of_cache')

Instance Method Details

#combined_fragment_cache_key(key)

Given a key (as described in #expire_fragment), returns a key array suitable for use in reading, writing, or expiring a cached fragment. All keys begin with :views, followed by ENV or ENV if set, followed by any controller-wide key prefix values, ending with the specified key value.

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'actionpack/lib/abstract_controller/caching/fragments.rb', line 88

def combined_fragment_cache_key(key)
  head = self.class.fragment_cache_keys.map { |k| instance_exec(&k) }
  tail = key.is_a?(Hash) ? url_for(key).split("://").last : key
  [ :views, (ENV["RAILS_CACHE_ID"] || ENV["RAILS_APP_VERSION"]), *head, *tail ].compact
end

#expire_fragment(key, options = nil)

Removes fragments from the cache.

key can take one of three forms:

  • ::String - This would normally take the form of a path, like pages/45/notes.

  • ::Hash - Treated as an implicit call to url_for, like { controller: 'pages', action: 'notes', id: 45}

  • ::Regexp - Will remove any fragment that matches, so %r{pages/\d*/notes} might remove all notes. Make sure you don’t use anchors in the regex (^ or $) because the actual filename matched looks like ./cache/filename/path.cache. Note: Regexp expiration is only supported on caches that can iterate over all keys (unlike memcached).

options is passed through to the cache store’s delete method (or delete_matched, for ::Regexp keys).

  end
end

#fragment_cache_key(key)

Given a key (as described in #expire_fragment), returns a key suitable for use in reading, writing, or expiring a cached fragment. All keys begin with views/, followed by any controller-wide key prefix values, ending with the specified key value. The key is expanded using ActiveSupport::Cache.expand_cache_key.

# File 'actionpack/lib/abstract_controller/caching/fragments.rb', line 69

def fragment_cache_key(key)
  ActiveSupport::Deprecation.warn(<<-MSG.squish)
    Calling fragment_cache_key directly is deprecated and will be removed in Rails 6.0.
    All fragment accessors now use the combined_fragment_cache_key method that retains the key as an array,
    such that the caching stores can interrogate the parts for cache versions used in
    recyclable cache keys.

  head = self.class.fragment_cache_keys.map { |k| instance_exec(&k) }

  ActiveSupport::Cache.expand_cache_key([*head, *tail], :views)
end

#fragment_exist?(key, options = nil) ⇒ Boolean

Check if a cached fragment from the location signified by key exists (see #expire_fragment for acceptable formats).

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'actionpack/lib/abstract_controller/caching/fragments.rb', line 121

def fragment_exist?(key, options = nil)
  return unless cache_configured?
  key = combined_fragment_cache_key(key)

  instrument_fragment_cache :exist_fragment?, key do
    cache_store.exist?(key, options)
  end
end

#read_fragment(key, options = nil)

Reads a cached fragment from the location signified by key (see #expire_fragment for acceptable formats).

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'actionpack/lib/abstract_controller/caching/fragments.rb', line 109

def read_fragment(key, options = nil)
  return unless cache_configured?

  key = combined_fragment_cache_key(key)
  instrument_fragment_cache :read_fragment, key do
    result = cache_store.read(key, options)
    result.respond_to?(:html_safe) ? result.html_safe : result
  end
end

#write_fragment(key, content, options = nil)

Writes content to the location signified by key (see #expire_fragment for acceptable formats).

[ GitHub ]

  
# File 'actionpack/lib/abstract_controller/caching/fragments.rb', line 96

def write_fragment(key, content, options = nil)
  return content unless cache_configured?

  key = combined_fragment_cache_key(key)
  instrument_fragment_cache :write_fragment, key do
    content = content.to_str
    cache_store.write(key, content, options)
  end
  content
