# ActiveSupport::Cache::Entry

Entry that is put into caches. It supports expiration time on entries and can compress values to save space in the cache.

### Constants

DEFAULT_COMPRESS_LIMIT

### Attributes

created_at[R]
expires_in[R]

### Public Class Methods

create(raw_value, created_at, options = {}) click to toggle source

Create an entry with internal attributes set. This method is intended to be used by implementations that store cache entries in a native format instead of as serialized Ruby objects.

    # File lib/active_support/cache.rb, line 541
    def create(raw_value, created_at, options = {})
      entry = new(nil)
      entry.instance_variable_set(:@value, raw_value)
      entry.instance_variable_set(:@created_at, created_at.to_f)
      entry.instance_variable_set(:@compressed, options[:compressed])
      entry.instance_variable_set(:@expires_in, options[:expires_in])
      entry
    end

new(value, options = {}) click to toggle source

Create a new cache entry for the specified value. Options supported are `:compress`, `:compress_threshold`, and `:expires_in`.

    # File lib/active_support/cache.rb, line 553
    def initialize(value, options = {})
      @compressed = false
      @expires_in = options[:expires_in]
      @expires_in = @expires_in.to_f if @expires_in
      @created_at = Time.now.to_f
      if value.nil?
        @value = nil
      else
        @value = Marshal.dump(value)
        if should_compress?(@value, options)
          @value = Zlib::Deflate.deflate(@value)
          @compressed = true
        end
      end
    end

### Public Instance Methods

compressed?() click to toggle source

    # File lib/active_support/cache.rb, line 594
    def compressed?
      @compressed
    end

expired?() click to toggle source

Check if the entry is expired. The `expires_in` parameter can override the value set when the entry was created.

    # File lib/active_support/cache.rb, line 600
    def expired?
      @expires_in && @created_at + @expires_in <= Time.now.to_f
    end

expires_at() click to toggle source

Seconds since the epoch when the entry will expire.

    # File lib/active_support/cache.rb, line 614
    def expires_at
      @expires_in ? @created_at + @expires_in : nil
    end

expires_at=(time) click to toggle source

Set a new time when the entry will expire.

    # File lib/active_support/cache.rb, line 605
    def expires_at=(time)
      if time
        @expires_in = time.to_f - @created_at
      else
        @expires_in = nil
      end
    end

raw_value() click to toggle source

Get the raw value. This value may be serialized and compressed.

    # File lib/active_support/cache.rb, line 570
    def raw_value
      @value
    end

size() click to toggle source

Returns the size of the cached value. This could be less than value.size if the data is compressed.

    # File lib/active_support/cache.rb, line 620
    def size
      if @value.nil?
        0
      else
        @value.bytesize
      end
    end

value() click to toggle source

Get the value stored in the cache.

    # File lib/active_support/cache.rb, line 575
    def value
      # If the original value was exactly false @value is still true because
      # it is marshalled and eventually compressed. Both operations yield
      # strings.
      if @value
        # In rails 3.1 and earlier values in entries did not marshaled without
        # options[:compress] and if it's Numeric.
        # But after commit a263f377978fc07515b42808ebc1f7894fafaa3a
        # all values in entries are marshalled. And after that code below expects
        # that all values in entries will be marshaled (and will be strings).
        # So here we need a check for old ones.
        begin
          Marshal.load(compressed? ? Zlib::Inflate.inflate(@value) : @value)
        rescue TypeError
          compressed? ? Zlib::Inflate.inflate(@value) : @value
        end
      end
    end
