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 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 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")
