Why?

flat-cache is amazing and I wanted to extend it to add a TLL (key expiry) feature.

Using

``javascript

//Some cache options
const cacheOpts = {
// namespace to use
ns: "shorticle-cache",
// time to live
ttl: 3600 * 24,
//dir: '/Directory-To-Save-Data'
};

const cache = require(".")(cacheOpts);

let key = "test-key",
value = {tyope:"Object", name:"Some Fancy Object to cache"};

cache.set(key, value, 30);

console.log(cache.ttl(key));
console.log(cache.get(key));

`

This will print:

`javascript

{ key: 'test-key', expires: 'in a few seconds' }
{ tyope: 'Object', name: 'Some Fancy Object to cache' }

``

NOTE:
- ttl defaults to null, meaning no expiry.
- you can use .get(), .set() and .del() methods which map to flat-caches .getKey(), .setKey() and .removeKey() respectively.
- all option values are optional
