# This module allows you to easily cache all responses from the backend - thus # speeding up the I18n aspects of your application quite a bit. # # To enable caching you can simply include the Cache module to the Simple # backend - or whatever other backend you are using: # # I18n::Backend::Simple.send(:include, I18n::Backend::Cache) # # You will also need to set a cache store implementation that you want to use: # # I18n.cache_store = ActiveSupport::Cache.lookup_store(:memory_store) # # You can use any cache implementation you want that provides the same API as # ActiveSupport::Cache (only the methods #fetch and #write are being used). # # The cache_key implementation assumes that you only pass values to # I18n.translate that return a valid key from #hash (see # http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Object.html#M000337). # # If you use a lambda as a default value in your translation like this: # # I18n.t(:"date.order", :default => lambda {[:month, :day, :year]}) # # Then you will always have a cache miss, because each time this method # is called the lambda will have a different hash value. If you know # the result of the lambda is a constant as in the example above, then # to cache this you can make the lambda a constant, like this: # # DEFAULT_DATE_ORDER = lambda {[:month, :day, :year]} # ... # I18n.t(:"date.order", :default => DEFAULT_DATE_ORDER) # # If the lambda may result in different values for each call then consider # also using the Memoize backend. # module I18n class << self @@cache_store = nil @@cache_namespace = nil def cache_store @@cache_store end def cache_store=(store) @@cache_store = store end def cache_namespace @@cache_namespace end def cache_namespace=(namespace) @@cache_namespace = namespace end def perform_caching? !cache_store.nil? end end module Backend # TODO Should the cache be cleared if new translations are stored? module Cache def translate(locale, key, options = {}) I18n.perform_caching? ? fetch(cache_key(locale, key, options)) { super } : super end protected def fetch(cache_key, &block) result = _fetch(cache_key, &block) throw(:exception, result) if result.is_a?(MissingTranslation) result = result.dup if result.frozen? rescue result result end def _fetch(cache_key, &block) result = I18n.cache_store.read(cache_key) and return result result = catch(:exception, &block) I18n.cache_store.write(cache_key, result) unless result.is_a?(Proc) result end def cache_key(locale, key, options) # This assumes that only simple, native Ruby values are passed to I18n.translate.
