ruby - Best way (other than session) to store objects in Rails controller? -

i have rails controller

class controllername < application   def method1     obj = api_call     session =obj.access_token       redirect_to redirect_url    #calls api authorization end point                              #and redirects action method2     end   def method2         obj.call_after_sometime   end end 

i calling api's in method1 getting object , storing access token , secrets in session. method1 finishes it's action.

after sometime calling method2, session(access token, secrets) stored correctly.

but, inside method2 need call api call_after_sometime using object obj.but, obj unavailable because didn't store in session(we ssl error storing encrypted objects).

i want know what's best way store obj in method1 can used later in method2

edit:

when tried rails.cache or session getting error

 typeerror - no _dump_data defined class openssl::x509::certificate 

googling found when store encrypted values in session throw error.

you can try caching it, careful of caching key, if object unique per user add user id in caching key

class controllername < application   def method1     obj = api_call     rails.cache.write("some_api_namespace/#{current_user.id}", obj)     session =obj.access_token    end   def method2     obj = rails.cache.read("some_api_namespace/#{current_user.id}")     obj.call_after_sometime   end end 

if there's possibility cache might not existent when try read it, use fetch instead of read call api if doesn't find data

def method2   obj = rails.cache.fetch("some_api_namespace/#{current_user.id}")     method_1   end   obj.call_after_sometime end
