## [`RequestCache`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/lib/gitlab/cache/request_cache.rb)
This module provides a simple way to cache values in RequestStore,
and the cache key would be based on the class name, method name,
optionally customized instance level values, optionally customized
method level values, and optional method arguments.
A simple example that only uses the instance level customised values:
``` ruby
class UserAccess
extend Gitlab::Cache::RequestCache
request_cache_key do
[user&.id, project&.id]
end
request_cache def can_push_to_branch?(ref)
# ...
end
end
```
This way, the result of `can_push_to_branch?` would be cached in
`RequestStore.store` based on the cache key. If `RequestStore` is not
currently active, then it would be stored in a hash saved in an
instance variable, so the cache logic would be the same.
We can also set different strategies for different methods:
``` ruby
class Commit
extend Gitlab::Cache::RequestCache
def author
User.find_by_any_email(author_email.downcase)
end
request_cache(:author) { author_email.downcase }
end
```
module Gitlab module Gitlab
module Cache module Cache

# end
