module ActionController #:nodoc:
  # Caching is a cheap way of speeding up slow applications by keeping the result of calculations, renderings, and database calls
  # around for subsequent requests. Action Controller affords you three approaches in varying levels of granularity: Page, Action, Fragment.
  #
  # You can read more about each approach and the sweeping assistance by clicking the modules below.
  #
  # Note: To turn off all caching and sweeping, set Base.perform_caching = false.
  module Caching

    # Page caching is an approach to caching where the entire action output of is stored as a HTML file that the web server
    # can serve without going through the Action Pack. This can be as much as 100 times faster than going through the process of dynamically
    # generating the content. Unfortunately, this incredible speed-up is only available to stateless pages where all visitors
    # are treated the same. Content management systems -- including weblogs and wikis -- have many pages that are a great fit
    # for this approach, but account-based systems where people log in and manipulate their own data are often less likely candidates.
    #
    # Specifying which actions to cache is done through the <tt>caches</tt> class method:
    #
    #   class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
    #     caches_page :show, :new
    #   end
    #
    # This will generate cache files such as weblog/show/5 and weblog/new, which match the URLs used to trigger the dynamic
    # generation. This is how the web server is able pick up a cache file when it exists and otherwise let the request pass on to
    # the Action Pack to generate it.
    #
    # Expiration of the cache is handled by deleting the cached file, which results in a lazy regeneration approach where the cache
    # is not restored before another hit is made against it. The API for doing so mimics the options from url_for and friends:
    #
    #   class WeblogController < ActionController::Base
    #     def update
    #       List.update(params[:list][:id], params[:list])
    #       expire_page :action => "show", :id => params[:list][:id]
    #       redirect_to :action => "show", :id => params[:list][:id]
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # Additionally, you can expire caches using Sweepers that act on changes in the model to determine when a cache is supposed to be
    # expired.
    #
    # == Setting the cache directory
    #
    # The cache directory should be the document root for the web server and is set using Base.page_cache_directory = "/document/root".
    # For Rails, this directory has already been set to RAILS_ROOT + "/public".
    #
    # == Setting the cache extension
    #
    # By default, the cache extension is .html, which makes it easy for the cached files to be picked up by the web server. If you want
    # something else, like .php or .shtml, just set Base.page_cache_extension.

    # Action caching is similar to page caching by the fact that the entire output of the response is cached, but unlike page caching,
    # every request still goes through the Action Pack. The key benefit of this is that filters are run before the cache is served, which
    # allows for authentication and other restrictions on whether someone is allowed to see the cache. Example:
    #
    #   class ListsController < ApplicationController
    #     before_filter :authenticate, :except => :public
    #     caches_page   :public
    #     caches_action :show, :feed
    #   end
    #
    # In this example, the public action doesn't require authentication, so it's possible to use the faster page caching method. But both the
    # show and feed action are to be shielded behind the authenticate filter, so we need to implement those as action caches.
    #
    # Action caching internally uses the fragment caching and an around filter to do the job. The fragment cache is named according to both
    # the current host and the path. So a page that is accessed at http://david.somewhere.com/lists/show/1 will result in a fragment named
    # "david.somewhere.com/lists/show/1". This allows the cacher to differentiate between "david.somewhere.com/lists/" and
    # "jamis.somewhere.com/lists/" -- which is a helpful way of assisting the subdomain-as-account-key pattern.
    #
    # Different representations of the same resource, e.g. <tt>http://david.somewhere.com/lists</tt> and <tt>http://david.somewhere.com/lists.xml</tt>
    # are treated like separate requests and so are cached separately. Keep in mind when expiring an action cache that <tt>:action => 'lists'</tt> is not the same
    # as <tt>:action => 'list', :format => :xml</tt>.

    # Fragment caching is used for caching various blocks within templates 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 doing using the cache helper available in the Action View. A template with caching might look something like:
    #
    #   <b>Hello <%= @name %></b>
    #   <% cache do %>
    #     All the topics in the system:
    #     <%= render :partial => "topic", :collection => Topic.find(:all) %>
    #   <% end %>
    #
    # This cache will bind to the name of action that called it. So you would be able to invalidate it using
    # <tt>expire_fragment(:controller => "topics", :action => "list")</tt> -- if that was the controller/action used. This is not too helpful
    # if you need to cache multiple fragments per action or if the action itself is cached using <tt>caches_action</tt>. So instead we should
    # qualify the name of the action used with something like:
    #
    #   <% cache(:action => "list", :action_suffix => "all_topics") do %>
    #
    # That would result in a name such as "/topics/list/all_topics", which wouldn't conflict with any action cache and neither with another
    # fragment using a different suffix. Note that the URL doesn't have to really exist or be callable. We're just using the url_for system
    # to generate unique cache names that we can refer to later for expirations. The expiration call for this example would be
    # <tt>expire_fragment(:controller => "topics", :action => "list", :action_suffix => "all_topics")</tt>.
    #
    # == Fragment stores
    #
    # In order to use the fragment caching, you need to designate where the caches should be stored. This is done by assigning a fragment store
    # of which there are four different kinds:
    #
    # * FileStore: Keeps the fragments on disk in the +cache_path+, which works well for all types of environments and shares the fragments for
    #   all the web server processes running off the same application directory.
    # * MemoryStore: Keeps the fragments in memory, which is fine for WEBrick and for FCGI (if you don't care that each FCGI process holds its
    #   own fragment store). It's not suitable for CGI as the process is thrown away at the end of each request. It can potentially also take
    #   up a lot of memory since each process keeps all the caches in memory.
    # * DRbStore: Keeps the fragments in the memory of a separate, shared DRb process. This works for all environments and only keeps one cache
    #   around for all processes, but requires that you run and manage a separate DRb process.
    # * MemCacheStore: Works like DRbStore, but uses Danga's MemCache instead.
    #   Requires the ruby-memcache library:  gem install ruby-memcache.
    #
    # Configuration examples (MemoryStore is the default):
    #
    #   ActionController::Base.fragment_cache_store = :memory_store
    #   ActionController::Base.fragment_cache_store = :file_store, "/path/to/cache/directory"
    #   ActionController::Base.fragment_cache_store = :drb_store, "druby://localhost:9192"

    # Sweepers are the terminators of the caching world and responsible for expiring caches when model objects change.
    # They do this by being half-observers, half-filters and implementing callbacks for both roles. A Sweeper example:
    #
    #   class ListSweeper < ActionController::Caching::Sweeper
    #     observe List, Item
    #
    #     def after_save(record)
    #       list = record.is_a?(List) ? record : record.list
    #       expire_page(:controller => "lists", :action => %w( show public feed ), :id => list.id)
    #       expire_action(:controller => "lists", :action => "all")
    #       list.shares.each { |share| expire_page(:controller => "lists", :action => "show", :id => share.url_key) }
    #     end
    #   end
    #
    # The sweeper is assigned in the controllers that wish to have its job performed using the <tt>cache_sweeper</tt> class method:
    #
    #   class ListsController < ApplicationController
    #     caches_action :index, :show, :public, :feed
    #     cache_sweeper :list_sweeper, :only => [ :edit, :destroy, :share ]
    #   end
    #
    # In the example above, four actions are cached and three actions are responsible for expiring those caches.
