The minifier maintains a collection of URL/ID pairs, to allow for 'shortening' a URL and fast access to it. Example:
http://www.google.com/ ---> 3294
Lookups are ither by URL or ID.
The Minifier object saves and reads a URL/ID pair in a mongdb database. If the URL is not found , it's automatically created.
The CachedMinifier object is a Minifier that uses a cache (Memcached or Redis) to perform faster reads when looking up a URL or ID.
from pminifier.minifier import CachedMinifier
from pminifier.redis_cache_backend import RedisCacheBackend, cached as cache_decorator
cache = RedisCacheBackend(host='localhost')
minifier = CachedMinifier('localhost', 'minified_urls', cache, cache_decorator)
minifier.get_id("http://google.com", "test")
