I am using the sitemap_generator gem to build an xml sitemap. From the readme:
… run rake sitemap:refresh as needed to create/rebuild your Sitemap files
I’d prefer to do this any time the create action is ran in my Content controller. Is there a best practice for doing something like this?
It is possible, yes. But I would not recommend it. Rake tasks tend to take at least a few seconds to run which will occupy a server request and prolong the response to the client.
If you want to refresh the sitemap after every create, then I would recommend one of two solutions. Either analyse what the rake task sitemap:refresh does and use the code directly from your controller. But I would only do that as long as it doesn’t take too much time to run and since I do not know much about sitemap_generator, I can’t tell.
The other option would be to run the rake task from a delayed_job which I found to be the preferred alternative. That way, you can trigger the job from your create action but you don’t have to wait for it to finish.
