Examples

  @articles = cache('articles') do
    Articles.latest
  end

Or:

  @articles = cache(['articles', user.id], :expires_in => 15.minutes)
   # Advanced Rails Recipies says: "expires_in option works only with memcached store"
   Articles.latest
  end

Also if you’d like to have short ‘cache’ call in your model you can have it - add the following method to the model:

  def cache(key, options = {})
    ActionController::Base.cache_store.fetch(key, options) { yield }
  end

cache
