AnyCache - a powerful cache wrapper that provides a minimalistic generic interface for all well-known cache storages and includes a minimal set of necessary operations:
fetch, read, write, delete, fetch_multi, read_multi, write_multi, delete_matched, expire, persist, exist?, clear, cleanup, increment, decrement.
Supported clients:
- 
Redis(gem redis) (redis storage) - 
Redis::Store(gem redis-store) (redis storage) - 
Dalli::Client(gem dalli) (memcached storage) - 
ActiveSupport::Cache::RedisCacheStore(gem activesupport) (redis cache storage) -

To instantiate AnyCache instance you have to provide a client. Client - an independent driver that works with a corresponding cache storage (external dependency).
Supported clients:
RedisRedis::StoreDalli::ClientActiveSupport::Cache::RedisCacheStoreActiveSupport::Cache::DalliStoreActiveSupport::Cache::MemCacheStoreActiveSupport::Cache::FileStoreActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore
AnyCache can be instantiated by two ways:
Custom instantiation with explicit client objects:
# 1) create client object
client = Redis.new(...)
# -- or --
client = Redis::Store.new(...)
# -- or --
client = Dalli::Client.new(...)
# -- or --
client = ActiveSupport::Cache::RedisCacheStore.new(...)
# -- or --
client = ActiveSupport::Cache::DalliStore.new(...)
# -- or --
client = ActiveSupport::Cache::MemCacheStore.new(...)
# -- or --
client = ActiveSupport::Cache::FileStore.new(...)
# -- or --
client = ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore.new(...)
# 2) build AnyCache instance
cache_store = AnyCache.build(client) # => <AnyCache:0x00007f990527f268 ...>You can configure AnyCache globally or create subclasses and configure each of them. After that
storage instantiation works via .build method without explicit attributes.
AnyCache.configureis used for configuration;config.driveris used for determine which client should be used;config.__driver_name__.optionsstores client-related options;

AnyCache.build(MyCacheClient.new)AnyCache logs all its operations. By default, AnyCache uses a simple STDOUT logger with Logger::INFO level.
Logging is performed with level configured in logger object.
Logger configuration:
# --- use your own logger ---
AnyCache.configure do |conf|
  conf.logger = MyLoggerObject.new
end
# --- disable logging ---
AnyCache.configure do |conf|
  conf.logger = nil
end
# --- (used by default) ---
AnyCache.configure do |conf|
  conf.logger = AnyCache::Logging::Logger.new(STDOUT)
end
# --- (your cache client inherited from AnyCache) ---
YourCacheClient.configure do |conf|
  # same configs as above

AnyCache#fetch(key, [force:], [expires_in:], [&fallback])- works in 
ActiveSupport::Cache::Store#fetch-manner; - fetches data from the cache using the given key;
