Fragment caching and pagination

Rails
1

I’m just getting my hands dirty with caching. The pages I want to cache
have
some user specific data on them (for example “log out”). That sent me
down
the route of fragment caching. One of the things I want to pagination is
a
paginated list. My question is how is pagination and query strings
handled
with fragment caching? Does each page get its own fragment and query
string
identifier?

thanks,

Yes. Each page related fragment is cached separately.

Here is what works for me:

In the view: (event/list.rhtml, a paginated view, with an optional
‘year’ filter. )

line 1:   <% cache(:controller => 'event', :action => 'list', :group

=> visitor.group, :page => params[:page], :year => params[:year]) do%>
…

In the Controller:
class EventController < ApplicationController
cache_sweeper :event_sweeper, :only => [:edit, :update, :new,
:create, :destroy]
…

In the sweeper:
class EventSweeper < ActionController::Caching::BaseSweeper
observe Event

    def after_save(record)
        expire_fragment  %r{event/list.*}
        expire_home_page
    end
    def after_destroy(record)
        expire_fragment  %r{event/list.*}
        expire_home_page
    end

end

Excellent. Just what I was looking for.
