Nginx Selective Cache Purge Module
==================================

A module to purge cache by GLOB patterns. The supported patterns are the same as supported by [Redis](http://redis.io/commands/KEYS).

_This module is not distributed with the Nginx source. See [the installation instructions](#installation-instructions)._

Configuration
-------------

An example:

```nginx
pid logs/nginx.pid;
error_log logs/nginx-main_error.log debug;

# Development Mode
# master_process off;
# daemon off;
worker_processes 1;
worker_rlimit_core 500M;
working_directory /tmp;
debug_points abort;

events {
worker_connections 1024;
#use kqueue; # MacOS
use epoll; # Linux
}

http {
default_type application/octet-stream;

access_log logs/nginx-http_access.log;
error_log logs/nginx-http_error.log;

proxy_cache_path /tmp/cache_zone levels=1:2 keys_zone=zone:10m inactive=10d max_size=100m;
proxy_cache_path /tmp/cache_other_zone levels=1:2 keys_zone=other_zone:1m inactive=1d max_size=10m;

#selective_cache_purge_redis_unix_socket "/tmp/redis.sock";
#
# or
#
#selective_cache_purge_redis_host "localhost";
#selective_cache_purge_redis_port 6379;

selective_cache_purge_redis_database 1;

server {
listen 8080;
server_name localhost;

# purging by prefix
location ~ /purge(.*) {
selective_cache_purge_query "$1*";
}

location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8081;

proxy_cache zone;
proxy_cache_key "$uri";
proxy_cache_valid 200 1m;
}
}

server {
listen 8090;
server_name localhost;

# purging by extension
location ~ /purge/.*(\..*)$ {
#purge by extension
selective_cache_purge_query "*$1";
}

location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8081;

proxy_cache other_zone;
proxy_cache_key "$uri";
proxy_cache_valid 200 1m;
}
}

server {
listen 8081;
server_name localhost;

location / {
return 200 "requested url: $uri\n";
}
}
}
```

Installation instructions
-------------------------

This module requires:
- Redis 2.8 or newer. Install it with your favourite package manager - apt-get, yum, brew - or download [Redis](http://redis.io/download) and compile it.
- hiredis 0.11.0. Install it with your favourite package manager - apt-get, yum, brew - or download [hiredis](https://github.com/redis/hiredis/releases) and compile it.
- [redis_nginx_adapter](https://github.com/wandenberg/redis_nginx_adapter) library

[Download Nginx Stable](http://nginx.org/en/download.html) source and uncompress it. You must then run ./configure with --add-module pointing to this project as usual, referencing the up-to-date hiredis/redis_nginx_adapter lib and include if they are not on your default lib and include folders. Something in the lines of:

```bash
$ ./configure \
--with-ld-opt='-L/usr/lib/ ' \
--with-cc-opt='-I/usr/include/hiredis/ ' \
--add-module=/path/to/nginx-selective-cache-purge-module
$ make
$ make install
```

Running tests
-------------

This project uses [nginx_test_helper](https://github.com/wandenberg/nginx_test_helper) on the test suite. So, after you've installed the module, you can just install the necessary gems:

```bash
$ bundle install --gemfile=test/Gemfile
```

And run rspec pointing to where your Nginx binary is (default: /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx):

```bash
$ NGINX_EXEC=/path/to/nginx rspec test/
```
