Small and efficient cache provider for Node.JS with In-memory, File, Redis and MongoDB engines.
| Version | Node.JS |

`` bash`
$ npm install recacheman
`javascript
var Cacheman = require('recacheman');
var cache = new Cacheman();
// or
var cache = new Cacheman('todo');
// or
var cache = new Cacheman({ ttl: 90 });
// or
var cache = new Cacheman('todo', { ttl: 90 });
// set the value
cache.set('my key', { foo: 'bar' }, function (error) {
if (error) throw error;
// get the value
cache.get('my key', function (error, value) {
if (error) throw error;
console.log(value); //-> {foo:"bar"}
// delete entry
cache.del('my key', function (error){
if (error) throw error;
console.log('value deleted');
});
});
});
`
Create cacheman instance. It accepts an name(optional) and options(optional). options can contain ttl to set the default "Time To Live" in seconds, delimiter to change the delimiter used for array keys (default: ':'), Promise can set a Promise library to use for promises, engine that could be "memory", "in file", "redis" or "mongo", and the corresponding engine options that can be passed like port, host, etc.
You can also pass an already initialized client engine as valid engine so you can re-use among multiple cacheman instances.
By default cacheman uses the cacheman-memory engine.
`javascript
var options = {
ttl: 90,
engine: 'redis',
port: 9999,
host: '127.0.0.1'
};
var cache = new Cacheman('todo', options);
`
Reuse engine in multiple cache instances:
`javascript
var Cacheman = require('recacheman');
var EngineMongo = require('cacheman-mongo');
var engine = new Engine();
// Share same engine:
var todoCache = new Cacheman('todo', { engine: engine });
var blogCache = new Cacheman('blog', { engine: engine });
`
Stores or updates a value.
`javascript
cache.set('foo', { a: 'bar' }, function (err, value) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(value); //-> {a:'bar'}
});
cache.set('foo', { a: 'bar' })
.then(function (value) {
console.log(value); //-> {a:'bar'}
});
`
Or add a TTL(Time To Live) in seconds like this:
`javascript`
// key will expire in 60 seconds
cache.set('foo', { a: 'bar' }, 60, function (err, value) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(value); //-> {a:'bar'}
});
You can also use humman readable values for ttl like: 1s, 1m, etc. Check out the ms project for additional information on supported formats.
`javascript`
// key will expire in 45 seconds
cache.set('foo', { a: 'bar' }, '45s', function (err, value) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(value); //-> {a:'bar'}
});
The key may also be an array. It will be joined into a string using the delimiter option.`javascript`
// equivalent to setting 'foo:bar'
cache.set(['foo', 'bar'], { a: 'baz' }, function (err, value) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(value); //-> {a:'baz'}
});
Retrieves a value for a given key, if there is no value for the given key a null value will be returned.
`javascript
cache.get('foo', function (err, value) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(value);
});
cache.get('foo')
.then(function (value) {
console.log(value);
});
`
Deletes a key out of the cache.
`javascript
cache.del('foo', function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
// foo was deleted
});
cache.del('foo')
.then(function () {
// foo was deleted
});
`
Clear the cache entirely, throwing away all values.
`javascript
cache.clear(function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
// cache is now clear
});
cache.clear()
.then(function () {
// cache is now clear
});
`
Cache shortcut method that support middleware. This method will first call get
and if the key is not found in cache it will call to save the value in cache.
`javascript
cache.cache('foo', { a: 'bar' }, '45s', function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(value); //-> {a:'bar'}
});
cache.cache('foo', { a: 'bar' }, '45s')
.then(function () {
console.log(value); //-> {a:'bar'}
});
`
This method allow to add middlewares that will be executed when the cache methodget
is called, meaning that you can intercept the function right after the and set methods.
For example we can add a middleware that will force ttl of 10 seconds on all values to cache:
`javascript
function expireInMiddleware (expireIn) {
return function (key, data, ttl, next) {
next(null, data, expire);
}
};
cache.use(expireInMiddleware('10s'));
cache.cache('foo', { a: 'bar' }, '45s', function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(value); //-> {a:'bar'}
});
`
Or we can add a middleware to overwrite the value:
`javascript
function overwriteMiddleware (val) {
return function (key, data, ttl, next) {
next(null, val, expire);
}
};
cache.use(overwriteMiddleware({ a: 'foo' }));
cache.cache('foo', { a: 'bar' }, '45s', function (err, data) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(data); //-> {a:'foo'}
});
`
You can also pass errors as first argument to stop the cache execution:
`javascript
function overwriteMiddleware () {
return function (key, data, ttl, next) {
next(new Error('There was an error'));
}
};
cache.use(overwriteMiddleware());
cache.cache('foo', { a: 'bar' }, '45s', function (err) {
if (err) throw err; // Will throw the error
});
`
Wraps a function in cache. The first time the function is run, its results are
stored in cache so subsequent calls retrieve from cache instead of calling the function.
The work function can call a node style callback argument or return a value including a promise.
The work function and ttl can also be passed in the opposite order. This is primarily to make promise returning calls cleaner.
`javascript
function work(callback) {
callback(null, { a: 'foo' });
}
cache.wrap('foo', work, '45s', function (err, data) {
console.log(data); //-> {a: 'foo'}
});
cache.wrap('foo', work, '45s')
.then(function (data) {
console.log(data); //-> {a: 'foo'}
});
cache.wrap('foo', '45s',
function() {
return Promise.resolve({ a: 'foo' });
})
.then(function (data) {
console.log(data); //-> {a: 'foo'}
});
cache.wrap('foo', '45s',
function() {
return { a: 'foo' };
})
.then(function (data) {
console.log(data); //-> {a: 'foo'}
});
`
This library supports both native Promises and callback-style usage.
If you want to use Bluebird (or any custom Promise library), pass it in options.Promise:
`js
const Bluebird = require('bluebird');
const Cacheman = require('recacheman');
const cache = new Cacheman('mycache', { Promise: Bluebird });
`
