Compare with:

expires_in(seconds, options = {})

Sets the Cache-Control header, overwriting existing directives. This method will also ensure an HTTP Date header for client compatibility.

Defaults to issuing the private directive, so that intermediate caches must not cache the response.

Options

:public: If true, replaces the default private directive with the public directive.
:must_revalidate: If true, adds the must-revalidate directive.
:stale_while_revalidate: Sets the value of the stale-while-revalidate directive.
:stale_if_error: Sets the value of the stale-if-error directive.

Any additional key-value pairs are concatenated as directives. For a list of supported Cache-Control directives, see the article on MDN.

Examples

expires_in 10.minutes
# => Cache-Control: max-age=600, private

expires_in 10.minutes, public: true
# => Cache-Control: max-age=600, public

expires_in 10.minutes, public: true, must_revalidate: true
# => Cache-Control: max-age=600, public, must-revalidate

expires_in 1.hour, stale_while_revalidate: 60.seconds
# => Cache-Control: max-age=3600, private, stale-while-revalidate=60

expires_in 1.hour, stale_if_error: 5.minutes
# => Cache-Control: max-age=3600, private, stale-if-error=300

expires_in 1.hour, public: true, "s-maxage": 3.hours, "no-transform": true
# => Cache-Control: max-age=3600, public, s-maxage=10800, no-transform=true
