NAME

       Jifty::DBI::Record::Cachable - records with caching behavior

SYNOPSIS

         package Myrecord;
         use base qw/Jifty::DBI::Record::Cachable/;

DESCRIPTION

       This module subclasses the main Jifty::DBI::Record package to add a caching layer.

       The public interface remains the same, except that records which have been loaded in the
       last few seconds may be reused by subsequent fetch or load methods without retrieving them
       from the database.

METHODS

   flush_cache
       This class method flushes the _global_ Jifty::DBI::Record::Cachable cache.  All caches are
       immediately expired.

   _flush_key_cache
       Blow away this record type's key cache

   load_from_hash
       Overrides the implementation from Jifty::DBI::Record to add caching.

   load_by_cols
       Overrides the implementation from Jifty::DBI::Record to add caching.

   _cache_config
       You can override this method to change the duration of the caching from the default of 5
       seconds.

       For example, to cache records for up to 30 seconds, add the following method to your
       class:

         sub _cache_config {
             { 'cache_for_sec' => 30 }
         }
