EctoCache

EctoCache is a process that implements an in-memory cache to store the results of database queries with Ecto. It is ideal for small lists of data that are constantly being read from the database and change very little such as a list of countries or product categories in an e-commerce.

Setup

Add ecto_cache to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:ecto_cache, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Run mix deps.get to install the dependencies.

Add ecto_cache as a worker to the supervision tree in your application.ex inside the start/2 function:

def start(_type, _args) do
  children = [
    # ...
    EctoCache
  ]

  # ...
end
