CacheTTL

Caching Library with TTL for Node.js and browser

NOTE: From latest release, the sync variant is removed due of stability, performance and security reasons

Features

• Out-of-the-box Promise & Async/Await support
• Fast
• No duplication
• Almost zero-config
• Flexible
• Memory-effecient
• On browsers works too
• Types declaration for IDE/Editor
• File-based mode (only for Node.js)
• Custom user mode defining

Import

// ES6
import CacheTTL from '@dalisoft/cache-ttl';

// or

// CommonJS
const CacheTTL = require('@dalisoft/cache-ttl');

// or

const CacheTTL = window.CacheTTL;

Example

const cache = new CacheTTL(1000 /* in ms */, saveAsFile?: boolean);

await cache.set('my-cache', () => 'i am live here around 1 sec'); // Returns String

await cache.set('my-response', async () => await axios({...})); // it's too lives here around 1 sec, returns Promise

or you can see how to define your own caching method (you can use Redis, MongoDB or everywhere). Async/Promise also support out-of-box

let _map = new Map();
const cache = new CacheTTL(5000, 'custom', {
  getTransform(key: string): any {
    return _map.get(key);
  },
  hasTransform(key: string): boolean {
    return _map.has(key);
  },
  setTransform(key: string, value: any): void {
    _map.set(key, value);
  },
  deleteTransform(key: string): void {
    _map.delete(key);
  },
});

For more info see tests. About invalidation, expire time and other things the core takes care of this, you shouldn't worry for these.

Note: For security reason, for custom and FS modes, functions and symbols are not supported. PR's are welcome to fix this.

Returns value of cache if still valid or null if value is expired

.has(key: string): Promise<Boolean>

Returns the value still valid or removed/expired?!

.set(key: string, value: AsyncFunction | Promise, ttl?: number): AsyncFunction | Promise

Creates new value for specified key and returns value

.expire(key: string, ttl?: number): AsyncFunction | Promise

Sets new expire for specified key and returns value

.getOrSet(key: string, value: AsyncFunction | Promise): AsyncFunction<value> | Promise<value>
