   1 module ActionController #:nodoc:
   2   module Caching
   3     # Fragment caching is used for caching various blocks within templates without caching the entire action as a whole. This is useful when
   4     # certain elements of an action change frequently or depend on complicated state while other parts rarely change or can be shared amongst multiple
   5     # parties. The caching is done using the cache helper available in the Action View. A template with caching might look something like:
   6     #
   7     #   <b>Hello <%= @name %></b>
   8     #   <% cache do %>
   9     #     All the topics in the system:
  10     #     <%= render :partial => "topic", :collection => Topic.find(:all) %>
  11     #   <% end %>
  12     #
  13     # This cache will bind to the name of the action that called it, so if this code was part of the view for the topics/list action, you would
  14     # be able to invalidate it using <tt>expire_fragment(:controller => "topics", :action => "list")</tt>.
  15     #
  16     # This default behavior is of limited use if you need to cache multiple fragments per action or if the action itself is cached using
  17     # <tt>caches_action</tt>, so we also have the option to qualify the name of the cached fragment with something like:
  18     #
  19     #   <% cache(:action => "list", :action_suffix => "all_topics") do %>
  20     #
  21     # That would result in a name such as "/topics/list/all_topics", avoiding conflicts with the action cache and with any fragments that use a
  22     # different suffix. Note that the URL doesn't have to really exist or be callable - the url_for system is just used to generate unique
  23     # cache names that we can refer to when we need to expire the cache.
  24     #
  25     # The expiration call for this example is:
  26     #
  27     #   expire_fragment(:controller => "topics", :action => "list", :action_suffix => "all_topics")
  28     module Fragments
  29       # Given a key (as described in <tt>expire_fragment</tt>), returns a key suitable for use in reading,
  30       # writing, or expiring a cached fragment. If the key is a hash, the generated key is the return
  31       # value of url_for on that hash (without the protocol). All keys are prefixed with "views/" and uses
  32       # ActiveSupport::Cache.expand_cache_key for the expansion.
