method

expire_fragment

v1.0.0 - Show latest stable - Class: ActionController::Caching::Fragments

expire_fragment(name, options = nil)

public

Name can take one of three forms:

String: This would normally take the form of a path like "pages/45/notes"
Hash: Is treated as an implicit call to url_for, like { :controller => "pages", :action => "notes", :id => 45 }
Regexp: Will destroy all the matched fragments, example: %r{pages/\d*/notes}

# File actionpack/lib/action_controller/caching.rb, line 310
      def expire_fragment(name, options = nil)
        return unless perform_caching

        key = fragment_cache_key(name)

        if key.is_a?(Regexp)
          self.class.benchmark "Expired fragments matching: #{key.source}" do
            fragment_cache_store.delete_matched(key, options)
          end
        else
          self.class.benchmark "Expired fragment: #{key}" do
            fragment_cache_store.delete(key, options)
          end
        end
      end

How do I call this from script/console?

@ramanavel - The options are dependent on the cache store that you're using. You'll need to have a look at what the cache store you're using allows.

e.g. MemCacheStore allows the use of time criteria based :expires_in, most of the cache stores don't.

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/caching_with_rails.html might provide a little more information.

Expire cache from console or whatever...
