  ## Background
12
12
  In simple cases, Rails' native support for fragment caching assumes that a fragment's content is a representation of a specific application data record. The content is stored in the cache with a key value derived from the `updated_at` attribute of that record. If any attributes of the record change, the cached entry automatically expires and on the next browser request for that content the fragment is re-rendered using the current data. In the view, the `cache` helper is used to specify the record used to determine the key and define the content to be rendered within the fragment, e.g.:

  A further limitation is that the rendering and storage of cache content relies on an explicit request being received from a user's browser, meaning that at least one user experiences a response time that doesn't benefit from caching every time a relevant change in data occurs. Nested fragments can mitigate this problem for pre-existing pages, since only part of the response need be re-built, but we are still left with the challenge of how to implement nesting in the case of more complex data associations.

  ## Fragmentary - General Approach
42
- Fragmentary uses a database table and corresponding ActiveRecord model that are separate from your application data specifically to represent view fragments. Records in this table serve only as metadata, recording the type of content each fragment contains, where it is located, and when it was last updated. They play the same role with respect to caching as an application data record in Rails native approach, i.e. internally a fragment record is passed to Rails `cache` method in the same way that `product` was in the earlier example, and the cache key is derived from the fragment record's `updated_at` attribute. A publish-subscribe mechanism is used to trigger automatic updating of this timestamp whenever any application data affecting the content of a fragment is added, modified or destroyed.

43
43
 
44
44
  To support fragment nesting, each fragment record also includes a `parent_id` attribute pointing to its immediate parent, or containing, fragment. Whenever the `updated_at` attribute on an inner fragment changes (initially as a result of a change in some application data the fragment is associated with), as well as expiring the cached content for that fragment, the parent fragment is automatically touched, thus expiring the containing cache as well. This process continues up through all successive ancestors, ensuring that the whole page (or part thereof in the case of some AJAX requests) is refreshed.
45
45
 
46
46
  Rather than use Rails' native `cache` helper directly, Fragmentary provides some new helper methods that hide some of the necessary internals involved in working with an explicit fragment model. Additional features include the ability to cache separate versions of fragments for different types of users and the ability to insert user-specific content after cached content is retrieved from the cache store. Fragmentary also supports automatic background updating of cached content within seconds of application data changing, avoiding the need for a user to visit a page in order to update the cache.
47

48
- Plainly, Fragmentary is more complex to use than Rails' native approach to fragment caching, but it provides much greater flexibility. It was initially developed for an application in which this flexibility was essential in order to achieve acceptable page load times for views derived from relatively complex data models and where data can be changed from multiple page contexts and affect rendered content in multiple ways in multiple contexts.

The names of these methods follow the form used in the wisper-activerecord gem, i.e. `create_<model_name>_successful`, `update_<model_name>_successful` and `destroy_<model_name>_successful`, each taking a single argument representing the application data record that has changed.

  #### Lists
176
176
 
177
177
  Special consideration is needed in the case of fragments that represent lists of variable length. Specifically, we need to be able to properly handle the creation of new list items. Suppose for example, we have a list of stores in which a product is available and a new store needs to be added to the list. In terms of application data, the availability of a product in a particular store might be represented by a `ProductStore` join model. Adding a new store involves creating a new record of this class. This record effectively acts as a 'list membership' association.
178
178
 
179
- There are two fragment types involved in caching the list, one for the list as a whole and another for individual items within it. We might represent the list with a fragment of type `StoresAvailable` and individual stores in the list with fragments of type `AvailableStore`, each a child of the list fragment. Both of these fragment types are associated via their respective `record_id` attributes with corresponding application data records. The `StoresAvailable` list fragment is associated with a `Product` record (the product whose availability we are displaying) and each `AvailableStore` fragment is associated with a list membership `ProductStore` record.

- We need to ensure that when a new `ProductStore` record is created, the corresponding `AvailableStore` fragment is also created _and_ that the containing `StoresAvailable` fragment is updated as well. We can't simply rely on the creation of the `AvailableStore` to automatically trigger an update to `StoresAvailable` in the way we do when we _update_ a child fragment, because the former doesn't gets created _until_ the latter is refreshed.

  `acts_as_list_fragment` takes two named arguments:
190
190
  * `members` is the name of the list membership association in snake case, or tableized, form. The creation of an association of that type triggers the addition of a new item to the list. In the example, it is the creation of a new `product_store` that results in a new item being added to the list. The effect of declaring `acts_as_list_fragment` is to ensure that when that membership association is created, the list fragment it is being added to is touched, expiring the cache so that on the next request the list will be re-rendered, which has the effect of creating the required new `AvailableStore` fragment. Note that the value of the `members` argument should match the record type of the list item fragments. So in the example, the `AvailableStore` class should be defined with `needs_record_id, :type => ProductStore` (We recognize there's some implied redundancy here that could be problematic; some adjustment may be made in the future).
191
- * `list_record` is either the name of a method (represented by a symbol) or a `Proc` that defines how to obtain the record_id (or the record itself; either will work) associated with the list fragment from a given membership association. If the value is a method name, the list record is found by calling that method on the membership association. In the example, the membership association is a `ProductStore` record, say `product_store`. The list is represented by a `StoresAvailable` fragment whose `record_id` points to a `Product` record. We can get that record simply by calling `product_store.product`, so the `list_record` parameter passed to `acts_as_list_fragment` is just the method `:product` (`:product_id` would also work). However sometimes a simple method like this is insufficient and a `Proc` may be used instead. In this case the newly created membership association is passed as a parameter to the `Proc` and we can implement whatever functional relationship is necessary to obtain the list record. In this simple example, if we wanted (for no good reason) to use a `Proc`, it would look like `->(product_store){product_store.product}`.

For example, if you use the [Devise gem]( https://github.com/plataformatec/devise) to provide authentication, by default an authenticated user is represented by the method `current_user`. Since the method returns `nil` if the user is not signed in, the `user_type` passed to `cache_fragment` could be provided as follows (assuming here that a method `is_an_admin?` is defined for your user model),

376
392
  With the exception of `updated_at`, the attributes of the fragment model we have discussed, `type`, `record_id`, `parent_id`, `key`, and `user_type`, are all designed for one purpose: to uniquely identify a fragment record. Occasionally, however, we may need to attach additional information to a fragment record, e.g. regarding the content contained within the fragment.
377
393
 
378
- Suppose you wish the inclusion of a piece of cached content in your template to be conditional on the result of some computation that occurs _within_ the process of rendering of that content. Thus could arise, for example, if database records needed for the fragment are retrieved within the body of the fragment (in order to avoid having to access the database when a cached version of the fragment is available), and the fragment is either shown or hidden selectively, depending on whether some variable derived from that data matches another parameter, say a user input.

456
- When application data that a cached fragment depends upon changes, typically as a result of a PUT, PATCH or DELETE request, the `subscribe_to` declarations in your `Fragment` subclass definitions ensure that the appropriate fragment records get updated. Then on subsequent browser requests, the cached content of pages containing those fragments will be refreshed. Sometimes, however, it is desirable to avoid having to receive an explicit user request in order to refresh the cache. To deal with this, Fragmentary provides a mechanism to automatically refresh cached content preemptively as soon as an application data update occurs.

+ When application data that a cached fragment depends upon changes, i.e. as a result of a POST, PATCH or DELETE request, the `subscribe_to` declarations in your `Fragment` subclass definitions ensure that the `updated_at` attribute of any existing fragment records affected will be updated. Then on subsequent browser requests, the cached content itself will be refreshed.
473
+
474
+ As part of this process, new fragment records may be created as *children* of an existing fragment if the existing fragment contains newly added list items. A new *root* fragment, on the other hand, will be created for any root fragment class defined with `needs_record_id` if an application data record of the associated `record_type` is created, as soon as a browser request is made to the new page (or new content in the case of an AJAX request) containing that fragment.

458
- Rails' `ActionDispatch::Integration::Session` [class](https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/testing/integration.rb) provides an interface that allows requests to be sent directly to the application without generating any external network traffic. Fragmentary uses this interface to automatically send requests to the application if any root fragment that has a `request_path` method defined is updated. You need to define this method in any individual Fragment subclasses that you wish to generate internal requests. Because nested child fragments automatically update their parent fragments when they themselves are updated, this means application requests can be initiated by an update to application data affecting a fragment anywhere within a page. Only the root fragment needs to define a request path.

+ Sometimes, however, it is desirable to avoid having to wait for an explicit request from a user in order to update the cache or to create new cached content. To deal with this, Fragmentary provides a mechanism to automatically create or refresh cached content preemptively, essentially as soon as a change in application data occurs. Rails' `ActionDispatch::Integration::Session` [class](https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/testing/integration.rb) provides an interface that allows requests to be sent directly to the application programmatically, without generating any external network traffic. Fragmentary uses this interface to automatically send requests needed to update the cache whenever changes in application data occur.
459
477
 
460
- Although a request is generated on updating any fragment that has a `request_path` method, the full specification of the request sent to the application may include additional request parameters and options. To send HTTP request parameters with the request, a Fragment subclass should define an instance method `request_parameters` that returns a hash of named parameters. To send an XMLHttpRequest, a class may additionally define an instance method `request_options` that returns the hash `{:xhr => true}`.
478
+ Creating these requests is handled slightly differently depending on whether they are designed to update content associated with an existing root fragment or to create content for a new root fragment that does not yet exist. In the case of an existing root fragment, if the fragment's class has a `request_path` *instance* method defined, a request will be sent to the application at that path (represented in the form of a string) whenever `touch` is called on the fragment record (in general, the request can be suppressed by passing `:no_request => true` if required). You simply need to define the `request_path` method in any individual `Fragment` subclass that you wish to generate requests for. For example:
479
+ ```
480
+ class ProductTemplate < Fragment
481
+ needs_record_id :type => 'Product'
482
+
483
+ def request_path
484
+ "/product/#{record_id}"
485
+ end
486
+ end
487
+ ```
488
+ Since nested child fragments automatically touch their parent fragments when they themselves are updated, internal requests can be initiated by an update to application data that affects a fragment anywhere within a page. Only the root fragment needs to define the request path.
489
+
490
+ The request that is generated will be sent to the application at the `request_path` specified, but it may also include additional request parameters and options. To send HTTP request parameters with the request, the Fragment subclass should define an additional instance method `request_parameters` that returns a hash of named parameters. To send an XMLHttpRequest, a class should define an instance method `request_options` that returns the hash `{:xhr => true}`.
491
+
492
+ In the case of a root fragment that *does not* yet exist, i.e. for a `Fragment` subclass defined with `needs_record_id` and an associated `record_type` when a new application record of that type is first created, a request will be generated in order to create the new fragment automatically if the subclass has a *class* method `request_path` defined that takes the `id` of the newly created application record and returns a string representing the path to which the request should be sent. For example:
493
+ ```
494
+ class ProductTemplate < Fragment
495
+ needs_record_id :type => 'Product'
496
+
497
+ def self.request_path(record_id)
498
+ "/product/#{record_id}"
499
+ end
500
+
501
+ def request_path
502
+ self.class.request_path(record_id)
503
+ end
504
+ ```
505
+
506
+ So in this example, any time a new `Product` record is created, Fragmentary will send a request to the page for that new product, resulting in the corresponding `ProductTemplate` fragment being created. As shown here, in cases like this we generally choose to define the instance method `request_path` in terms of the corresponding class method.

- A single external browser request can cause changes to application data affecting multiple fragments on multiple pages. One external request can therefore lead to multiple internal application requests. In addition, considering that different versions of some cached fragments exist for different user types, in order to ensure that all affected versions get refreshed we may need to send each internal request multiple times in the context of several different user sessions, each representing a different user type.

Each queue corresponds to a different user type, which is stored in an instance variable within the `RequestQueue` object when the queue is instantiated.

467
513
 
468
- The set of user types any individual `Fragment` subclass requires is available via the class method `user_types`, which returns an array of user type strings. Currently by default, when you declare a class with `needs_user_type`, a method `Fragmentary::NeedsUserType.user_types` returning the array `["admin", "signed_in"]` is automatically added to the class. This can be overridden as required.
514
+ The set of user types that an individual `Fragment` subclass is expected to support is available via a configurable class method `user_types`, which returns an array of user type strings (Note this is different from the class method `user_type` discussed earlier that returns a single user type for a specific current user).
469
515
 
470
- Fragmentary uses the types returned by this method to identify the request queues that any internal application requests generated by instances of each Fragment subclass need to be added to. `Fragment` subclasses inherit both a class and instance method `request_queues` that returns a hash of queues keyed by the specific user type strings that that specific subclass supports.
516
+ Configuration of the `user_types` method is discussed in the next section. Fragmentary uses the types returned by this method to identify the request queues that each internal application request needs to be added to when instances of each particular `Fragment` subclass are updated. `Fragment` subclasses inherit both class and instance methods `request_queues` that return a hash of queues keyed by each of the specific user type strings that that specific subclass supports.
471
517
 
472
- The request queue for any given user type is shared across all Fragment subclasses within the application. So for example, a `ProductTemplate` fragment may have two different request queues, `ProductTemplate.request_queues["admin"]` and `ProductTemplate.request_queues["signed_in"]`. If a `StoresAvailable` fragment has one request queue `StoresAvailable.request_queues["signed_in"]`, the `"signed_in"` queues for both classes represent the same object.

473
519
 
474
- A class method `Fragmentary::RequestQueue.all` returns an array of all request queues the application uses (currently by default two, for user types `"admin"` and `"signed_in"`). An instance method `RequestQueue#send` can be used to actually send the requests from each queue. When `send` is called, it creates a `Fragmentary::UserSession` object representing a browser session for the particular type of user the queue is handling. For sessions representing autenticated users (`"admin"`, `"signed_in"`), instantiating a `UserSession` will sign in to the application using a dummy user account. Currently `UserSession` instance methods `sign_in` and `sign_out` are hard-coded to use request paths `/users/sign_in` and `/users/sign_out`. You may need to adjust to suit your own situation.
520
+ #### Configuring Internal Request Users
521
+
522
+ The user types each subclass supports can be configured in two ways. If all of the fragments in your application that declare `need_user_type` always use the same set of user types, you can configure these by setting `Fragmentary.config.session_users` in your `initializers/fragementary.rb` file:
475
523
 
476
- In the current implementation, dummy users that require authentication are identified by email and password. In our application code we define a class method `User.test_user` that creates or retrieves a dummy user object containing read accessors for these two parameters. The method takes a string name and one named option indicating whether the user is an admin:
477
524
  ```
478
- def User.test_user(name, admin: false)
525
+ Fragmentary.setup do |config|
479
526
  ...
527
+ config.session_users = {
528
+ 'signed_in' => {:credentials => {:user => {:email => 'bob@example.com', :password => 'bobs_secret'},
529
+ 'admin' => {:credentials => {:user => {:email => 'alice@example.com', :password => 'alices_secret'}
530
+ }
531
+ config.get_sign_in_path = '/users/sign_in'
532
+ config.post_sign_in_path = '/users/sign_in'
533
+ config.sign_out_path = '/users/sign_out'
534
+ end
535
+ ```
536
+
537
+ The value assigned to `session_users` is a hash whose keys are each a required `user_type` string, with values containing a hash of credentials needed to sign in as a stereotypical user for that type, i.e. the HTTP request parameters that need to be sent with a POST request to sign in. If authentication is not required, the value should be an empty hash. If you prefer not to put credentials in the configuration file directly, you can alternatively specify a `Proc` that returns the required hash; the `Proc` will be executed when sign-in actually occurs. We have used this, for example, to retrieve randomized single-use credentials from our User model for specific test users that have only read-access to the site.
538
+
539
+ As shown in the example, we also need to assign sign-in and sign-out paths, with separate sign-in paths for GET and POST requests. The GET path is the address from which a user would retrieve the sign-in form. Fragmentary sends a GET request to this address first in order to retrieve the CSRF token that needs to be submitted with the user credentials in a POST request when signing in.
540
+
541
+ The configuration defined using `Fragmentary.setup` as shown above will be used as the default for any fragment subclass defined using `needs_user_type`; for those subclasses the class method `user_types` will return an array of the `user_type` strings so defined. However, if you need a specific subclass to support a different set of user types, you can configure that by passing additional options to `needs_user_type` in the class definition.
542
+
543
+ ```
544
+ class MyFragment < Fragment
545
+ needs_user_type
546
+ :session_users => ['admin',
547
+ 'paid' => {:credentials => ...},
548
+ 'unpaid' => {:credentials => ...}]
480
549
  end
481
550
  ```
482
- The method assigns to the user a dummy email address that is unique by name together with a random password for each new session. A singleton accessor method `password` is defined on the object to make the temporary password available to the UserSession object so that it's able to sign the user in before sending the queued requests.
483
551
 
484
- To send all requests once processing of the external browser request has been completed, add a method such as the following to your `ApplicationController` class and call it using a controller `after_filter`:
552
+ The value of the `:session_users` option (you can also use `:user_types` or just `:types` instead) is an array containing either strings of user types that are defined elsewhere, e.g. using `Fragmentary.setup` (e.g. 'admin' in the example) or hashes of new session user definitions that include their required sign-in credentials.
553

+ #### Sending Queued Requests

+
556
+ A class method `Fragmentary::RequestQueue.all` returns an array of all request queues the application uses. The requests stored within a given `RequestQueue` can be sent to the application by calling the instance method `RequestQueue#send`. Calling `send` instantiates a `Fragmentary::UserSession` object representing a browser session for the particular type of user the queue is handling. For sessions representing user types that need to be authenticated, instantiating the `UserSession` will sign in to the application using the credentials configured for the particular `user_type`.

568
+
569
+ In the cases we've described so far, internal requests are added to request queues automatically, either as a result of updating an existing root fragment or because a new application record has been created that requires a new root fragment with a class declaration `needs_record_id` to be created. There are, however, sometimes cases in which you may wish to create `Fragmentary::Request` objects yourself and add them to the appropriate queues explicitly. This could arise, for example, with a fragment class that declares `needs_key`. If a change in application data results in a value of the 'key' that didn't previously exist, you may wish, in a `subscribe_to` block within your fragment subclass definition, to create an internal request explicitly that will result in new cached content being generated for that new 'key' value.
570
+
571
+ The process is straightforward. First instantiate a request by calling `Fragmentary::Request.new`. This method takes two required parameters and two optional parameters:
572
+
573
+ ```
574
+ request = Fragmentary::Request.new(method, path, parameters, options)
575
+ ```
576
+
577
+ `method` is a string, usually 'get', but in general 'post', 'patch', 'put' and 'delete' are also acceptable values.
578
+
579
+ `path` is a string representing the path you wish the request to be sent to.
580
+
581
+ `parameters` is an optional hash containing named HTTP request parameters to be sent with the request.
582
+
583
+ `options` is an optional hash `{:xhr => true}` if the request is to be sent as an `XMLHttpRequest`.
584
+
585
+ Once the request is instantiated, you can add it to all of the queues required by the fragment's subclass simply by calling the class method `queue_request`:
586
+ ```
587
+ MyFragment.queue_request(request)
588
+ ```

  ### Asynchronous Fragment Updating
494
591
 
495
- Off-loading internal application requests to an asynchronous process as noted in the previous section means they can occur without delaying the server's response to the user's initial external request. However, in a complex application there may also be some overhead just in the process of updating fragment records that is not critical in order to send a response back to the user. For example, many fragments that need to be updated may be on pages other than the one the user is going to be sent or redirected to right away. In this case, we may wish to offload the task of updating these fragments to an asynchronous process as well.

594
  Fragmentary accomplishes this by means of the `Fragmentary::Handler` class. An individual task you wish to be handled asynchronously is created by defining a subclass of `Fragmentary::Handler`, typically within the scope of the Fragment subclass in which you wish to use it. The `Handler` subclass you define requires a single instance method `call`, which defines the task to be performed.

641
+ #### Updating Lists Asynchronously
642
+
643
+ As discussed earlier, if a fragment class is declared with `acts_as_list_fragment`, fragments of that class will be automatically touched whenever a new list item is created. If you want this process to take place asynchronously, simply pass the option `:delay => true` to `acts_as_list_fragment`, e.g.:
644
+ ```
645
+ class StoresAvailable < Fragment
646
+ acts_as_list_fragment :members => :product_stores, :list_record => :product, :delay => true
647
+ end
648
+ ```
649
+
650
+ ### Updating Fragments Explicitly Within a Controller
651
+
652
+ The typical usage scenario for Fragmentary is for fragment records to be updated by the methods defined in the `subscribe_to` blocks you create in your fragment subclasses, in response to user requests that modify the application data. This involves very little coupling between your application's controllers and models and the fragment caching process. Models need only include the `Fragmentary::Publisher` module to ensure that `Fragment` subclasses can subscribe to the application data events that trigger fragment updates. Your `ApplicationController` only needs to ensure that any queued internal requests and asynchronous fragment update tasks are dispatched (if you choose to use either of those features) before sending a response to the user's browser. Application models and controllers generally have no need to access the Fragment class API.
653
+
654
+ Ocassionally, however, a situation may arise in which it is useful to touch fragments directly from a controller. For example, an application data event may occur that requires fragments to be updated on a large number of different pages within your site. This is the kind of scenario in which you might choose to offload fragment updating to a `Fragmentary::Handler` and execute the task asynchronously as described in the previous section. However, it may also be that *one* of those pages is the one that is going to be sent back to the user's browser immediately in response to the current request. You can't put off touching the affected fragment on that one page until the asynchronous process executes because then the user won't see the updated content. In a scenario like this, you also can't detect within the `subscribe_to` block in your fragment subclass definition which one fragment needs to be touched immediately rather than asynchronously, since the fragment class has no knowledge of the internal state of the controller.
655
+
656
+ A possible solution in this situation may be to touch the fragment representing the content that is about to be returned to the user *in the controller*. We're *not* convinced that this is good practice, but if you decide you need to, you can use the class method `Fragment.existing` to obtain the required fragment in the controller and call `touch` on it explicitly. If the fragment subclass involved is one that supports multiple user types, you will want to ensure that just the fragment corresponding to the current user's `user_type` is touched, which you can do by passing the current user object to `existing`. Internally, `existing` will map the user object to the corresponding `user_type` using the `user_type_mapping` you have configured in order to select the correct fragment. In addition, when you touch the fragment in this context, you should pass `:no_request => true` so that it doesn't generate an internal request to update the cache since responding to the user's actual request is going to accomplish this automatically.
657
+
658
+ ```
659
+ class ProductStoresController < ApplicationController
660
+ def create
661
+ ...
662
+ @product_store.save
663
+ fragment = ProductTemplate.existing(:record_id => @product_store.product_id, :user => current_user)
664
+ fragment.touch(:no_request => true)
665
+ end
666
+ end
667
+ ```
668
+
669
+ ### Removing Queued Requests in the Controller
670
+
671
+ Another scenario that occasionally arises is when internal requests created in the course of executing methods defined in a `subscribe_to` block include the path to the same page that the controller is going to render anyway in the normal course of responding to the user's current browser request. In effect, that one internal request is redundant. Although it generally won't cause any real harm to send a redundant request (remember the internal request is usually dispatched asynchronously, so it won't interfere with the synchronous response), redundancy is redundancy and you may wish to avoid it.
672
+
673
+ In this case, it is possible within the controller to remove a request that has already been queued, after the application data has been created, updated or destroyed, by using the class method `Fragment.remove_queued_request`. The method takes two named parameters, the path of the request to be removed and the current user object, with the latter allowing it to remove the request from the correct queue, e.g.
674
+
675
+ ```
676
+ class ProductsController < ApplicationController
677
+ def create
678
+ ...
679
+ if @product.save
680
+ respond_to do |format|
681
+ format.html do
682
+ ProductTemplate.remove_queued_request(:request_path => "/products/#{@product.id}", :user => current_user)
683
+ redirect_to @product
684
+ end
685
+ format.js
686
+ end
687
+ else
688
+ ...
689
+ end
690
+ end
691
+ end
692
+ ```

  #### Providing a Receiver for Calls to 'cache_child'
543
- There are a couple of special issues to consider when using Fragmentary with templates designed to respond to partial page requests. An example would be a Javascript template used to insert content into a previously loaded page, such as when dynamically adding a new item to an existing list. Typically, in a Javascript template we would use embedded Ruby (ERB) to render a partial containing the required content, escape the resulting string for Javascript and insert it into the list using jQuery's `append` method, e.g.

- However, it's possible for the partial to contain a cached fragment that happens to be a child of a parent containing the list as a whole. When the entire page containing the original list was first rendered, and the parent fragment was retrieved using say `cache_fragment` (assuming it happened to be a root fragment), a `CacheBuilder` object would have been yielded to the block containing the partial, and this object would have been passed to the partial to act as the receiver for `cache_child`.

  ## Integration Issues
593
747
 
594
- Our hope is ultimately make it as easy as possible to integrate Fragmentary into any Rails application. However, in this current pre-release version there are aspects of the code that reflect the specific application it was extracted from and that will probably need adjustment before deployment elsewhere. Note the following in particular:
595
- 1. Fragmentary allows different versions of cached content to be stored for different 'types' of users. Fragment subclasses that require different versions for different user types are defined with the declaration `needs_user_type`. Currently by default this adds a class method `Fragmentary::NeedsUserType.user_type` to the subclass. This method is currently hard-coded to return one of three strings, `"admin"`, `"signed_in"` and `"signed_out"`. The method also relies on the existence of a user model instance method, `User#is_an_admin?`.
596
- 1. Fragmentary preemptively refreshes cached content when application data changes. In order to refresh content seen by authenticated users, Fragmentary relies on the ability to sign in to the application as a test user and to access a user model object in the view for an authenticated user. In the application it was extracted from, authentication was implemented using the [Devise gem]( https://github.com/plataformatec/devise). The sign-in and sign-out paths are currently hard-coded in `Fragmentary::UserSession` to the default paths provided by Devise, and the Devise method `current_user` is used in module `Fragmentary:FragmentsHelper` and class `Fragmentary::UserWidget` to retrieve the current authenticated user object. The private method `Fragmentary::UserSession#get_user` also relies on the existence of a class method `User.test_user`, which takes a dummy user name and a named boolean parameter `:admin` and returns a user object with valid `email` and `password` accessors.
597
- 1. For any `Fragment` subclass defined with the declaration `needs_user_type`, both instance and class methods `user_types` are added to the subclass. Both return an array of strings representing the user types for which the fragment's content will be preemptively refreshed. Currently these methods return a two element array `["admin", "signed_in"]`.
598
- 1. Fragmentary was created in the context of a Rails 4.x application (for perfectly sound reasons! :)). There should be only minor adjustment required for use within a Rails 5.x application. However one specific issue we are aware of is a change in the API for `ActionDispatch::Integration::Session`. In Rails 5.x this requires that HTTP request parameters be passed as a named parameter `:params`, rather than an unnamed hash in Rails 4.x. This affects the method `to_proc` in class `Fragmentary::Request` and the methods `sign_in` and `sign_out` in class `Fragmentary::UserSession`.
599
- 1. Fragmentary uses the [Delayed::Job gem](https://github.com/collectiveidea/delayed_job) to execute background tasks asynchronously. Other alternatives exist within the Rails ecosystem, and in Rails 5.x it may make sense use [Active Job](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_job_basics.html) as an abstraction layer.

751

We believe that this problem has been solved in Rails 5.x, so this setting will not be necessary. See https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/21815.
