Getting Started


Using CloudCache with Ruby is very easy.

Install Gem

  • gem sources -a http://gems.github.com (you only have to do this once)
  • gem install activesupport quetzall-cloud_cache

Write Code

To test it out quickly and see how easy it is, let's make a quick test program.

First, create a file called cctest.rb

Now copy and paste the following code into it:

require 'rubygems'
require 'cloud_cache'

cc = ActiveSupport::Cache::CloudCache.new(MY_CLOUDCACHE_API_KEY, MY_CLOUDCACHE_SECRET_KEY)
cc.put('coolkey', 'CloudCache is cool')
val = cc.get('coolkey')
puts 'got from cache: ' + val.to_s

Then run it: ruby cctest.rb

That's all there is to it.

Other Common Methods

  • delete(key)
  • get_multi
    • Get a batch of items in one shot (improves performance)
  • list_keys()
    • Lists all keys in the cache.
  • flush()
    • Clears out the cache
  • my_usage()
    • Returns your current size usage for your account (in bytes).
  • increment(key)
    • increments the value at key
  • decrement(key)
    • decrements the value at key
  • write (synonym for put) 
  • read (synynym for get)

With Ruby on Rails

In environment.rb, do the following:

cc = ActiveSupport::Cache::CloudCache.new(MY_CLOUDCACHE_API_KEY, MY_CLOUDCACHE_SECRET_KEY)

config.cache_store = cc
