A process-safe python adapter to handle cache expiration.

expirecache
========

Python utilities and middleware for neuron.js

expirecache analyzes the dependencies from user defined facades according
to the dependency tree, and outputs ``<script>`` tags and configurations
for `neuron.js <https://github.com/kaelzhang/neuron>`__

The dependency tree can be generated by
`neuron-package-dependency <https://github.com/kaelzhang/neuron-package-dependency>`__

Install
-------

.. code:: sh

$ pip install expirecache

Usage
-----

.. code:: py

from expirecache import Neuron

n = Neuron(
dependency_tree=dependency_tree, # must defined
resolve=resolve,
version=version,
cache=cache,
debug=False)

``expirecache`` could be used either in template file or your python
controller.

`Here <./sample/sample-jinja.html>`__ is a sample Jinja2 template file.

- **dependency\_tree** ``dict`` the ``json.loads()``\ ed dependency
tree
- **resolve** ``function(id)=`` (optional) implements your own custom
resolver. ``resolve`` accepts one parameter ``id`` which can be
either a ``str`` of module id or a ``list`` of module ids. If a
``str`` is passed in, the method should returns the resolved absolute
url of the module id. If ``id`` is a ``list``, an url of comboed
script files should be returned.
- **debug** ``function|bool=False`` tells expirecache whether should
switch on debug mode. When on debug mode, no javascript files of
dependencies will be preloaded, and the output will not be
compressed.
- if ``debug`` is callable, expirecache will use the return value of
method ``debug``
- if ``debug`` is a boolean value, and ``debug`` is true, the debug
mode will be on.
- **cache** ``dict=None`` if ``cache`` is defined, it should contains 3
methods:
- ``cache.has(key)`` returns ``bool``
- ``cache.get(key)`` looks up and returns the cached value by key
- ``cache.set(key, value)`` sets the value by key
- **version** ``str`` only works if ``cache`` is defined. expirecache will
uses ``version`` to generate the key to cache the output result

module id
^^^^^^^^^

.. code:: js

<name>@<version><path> # for example: 'jquery@2.0.0/jquery.js'

n.facade(entry, data=None)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- **entry** ``str`` id of the entry module

Registers a facade entry with ``data``. expirecache will

Returns ``''``\ (empty string), so you can use this method in python
template

n.combo(id...)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Returns ``''``

n.css(id)
^^^^^^^^^

Returns ``''``

n.output()
^^^^^^^^^^

Returns ``str``

n.output\_css()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Returns ``str``
