How to prevent browser page caching in Rails

by

I finally figured this out – http://blog.serendeputy.com/posts/how-to-prevent-browsers-from-caching-a-page-in-rails/ in application_controller.rb.

After Ruby on Rails 5:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

  before_action :set_cache_headers

  private

  def set_cache_headers
    response.headers["Cache-Control"] = "no-cache, no-store"
    response.headers["Pragma"] = "no-cache"
    response.headers["Expires"] = "Mon, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT"
  end
end

Ruby on Rails 4 and older versions:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

  before_filter :set_cache_headers

  private

  def set_cache_headers
    response.headers["Cache-Control"] = "no-cache, no-store"
    response.headers["Pragma"] = "no-cache"
    response.headers["Expires"] = "Mon, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:00 GMT"
  end
end
