Middleman::CachingProxy

Caches the result of proxy calls allong with the fingerprint of their inputs. If the inputs remain the same, uses the cached version.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'middleman-caching-proxy'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install middleman-caching-proxy

Usage

In config.rb:

git_head = `git rev-parse HEAD`.chomp

activate :caching_proxy, cache_key: git_head

things = [...]

things.each do |thing|
  proxy_with_cache(
    path: "/things/#{thing.slug}",
    template: "/templates/thing_template.html",
    proxy_options: {locals: {thing: thing}},
    fingerprint: thing.updated_at.to_i
  )
end

There are 4 required parameters:

  • path: the page path,
  • template: the page template,
  • proxy_options: options to pass to the proxy invocation,
  • fingerprint: a value that indicates the 'version' of the item. If this value changes, the cached version will be skipped and updated.
