Documentation:
memcache-client is a client for Danga Interactive‘s memcached.
Just install the gem:
$ sudo gem install memcache-client
With one server:
CACHE = MemCache.new 'localhost:11211', :namespace => 'my_namespace'
Or with multiple servers:
CACHE = MemCache.new %w[one.example.com:11211 two.example.com:11211], :namespace => 'my_namespace'
See MemCache.new for details.
Rails will automatically load the memcache-client gem, but you may need to uninstall Ruby-memcache, I don‘t know which one will get picked by default.
Add your environment-specific caches to config/environment/*. If you run both development and production on the same memcached server sets, be sure to use different namespaces. Be careful when running tests using memcache, you may get strange results. It will be less of a headache to simply use a readonly memcache when testing.
memcache-client also comes with a wrapper called Cache in memcache_util.rb for use with Rails. To use it be sure to assign your memcache connection to CACHE. Cache returns nil on all memcache errors so you don‘t have to rescue the errors yourself. It has get, put and delete module functions.
