# frozen_string_literal: true

# Discourse specific cache, enforces 1 day expiry by default

# This is a bottom up implementation of ActiveSupport::Cache::Store
# this allows us to cleanly implement without using cache entries and version
# support which we do not use, in tern this makes the cache as fast as simply
# using `Discourse.redis.setex` with a more convenient API
#
# It only implements a subset of ActiveSupport::Cache::Store as we make no use
# of large parts of the interface.
#
# An additional advantage of this class is that all methods have named params
# Rails tends to use options hash for lots of stuff due to legacy reasons
# this makes it harder to reason about the API
