NAME

Mojolicious::Plugin::Cache::Action - Action caching plugin

VERSION

version 0.0015

SYNOPSIS

Mojolicious:

$self->plugin('cache-action');

Mojolicious::Lite:

plugin 'cache-action';

DESCRIPTION

This plugin caches responses of mojolicious applications. It works by caching the entire output of controller action for every request. Action caching internally uses the before_dispatch hook to serve the response from cache by skipping the entire controller body. Uncached responses are cached in an after_dispatch hook.

The cache is named according to the current host and path. So, the cache will differentiate between an identical page that is accessed from tucker.myplace.com/user/2 and from caboose.myplace.com/user/2 Different representation of the same resource such as tucker.myplace.com/book/list and tucker.myplace.com/book/list.json are considered as separate requests and so are cached separately.

Cache backends

This plugin uses CHI for caching responses. So, all the various cache backends and customization options of CHI are supported. By default, this plugin uses the Memory cache backend. Various other backends

are also available through CHI.
