module ActionController #:nodoc:
  module Caching
    # 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 done 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 the action that called it, so if this code was part of the view for the topics/list action, you would
    # be able to invalidate it using <tt>expire_fragment(:controller => "topics", :action => "list")</tt>.
    #
    # This default behavior is of limited use if you need to cache multiple fragments per action or if the action itself is cached using
    # <tt>caches_action</tt>, so we also have the option to qualify the name of the cached fragment with something like:
    #
    #   <% cache(:action => "list", :action_suffix => "all_topics") do %>
    #
    # 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
    # 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
    # cache names that we can refer to when we need to expire the cache.
    #
    # The expiration call for this example is:
    #
    #   expire_fragment(:controller => "topics", :action => "list", :action_suffix => "all_topics")
    module Fragments
      # Given a key (as described in <tt>expire_fragment</tt>), returns a key suitable for use in reading,
      # writing, or expiring a cached fragment. If the key is a hash, the generated key is the return
      # value of url_for on that hash (without the protocol). All keys are prefixed with "views/" and uses
      # ActiveSupport::Cache.expand_cache_key for the expansion.

      #
      # +key+ can take one of three forms:
      # * String - This would normally take the form of a path, like
      #   <tt>"pages/45/notes"</tt>.
      # * Hash - Treated as an implicit call to +url_for+, like
      #   <tt>{:controller => "pages", :action => "notes", :id => 45}</tt>
      # * Regexp - Will remove any fragment that matches, so
      #   <tt>%r{pages/\d*/notes}</tt> might remove all notes. Make sure you
      #   don't use anchors in the regex (<tt>^</tt> or <tt>$</tt>) because
      #   the actual filename matched looks like
      #   <tt>./cache/filename/path.cache</tt>. 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 <tt>delete</tt>
      # method (or <tt>delete_matched</tt>, for Regexp keys.)
