Returns the same unique WeakRef instance per object.
npm install weak-ref-cacheThe weak-ref-cache package is a utility module designed to help you manage and reuse weak references to objects in JavaScript. With this package, you can retrieve weak references to objects and compare them using the same equality comparison as you would use for the objects themselves. Furthermore, it ensures that only one WeakRef instance is created per object, promoting memory efficiency.
``bash`
npm install weak-ref-cache
Here's how you can use the weak-ref-cache package:
1. Import the getWeakRef function from the package.getWeakRef
2. Use the function to get a weak reference to an object.getWeakRef
3. You can compare weak references obtained using the function just like you would compare the objects themselves.
`ts
import getWeakRef from "weak-ref-cache";
const obj = { foo: "bar" };
const weakRef = getWeakRef(obj);
console.log(weakRef === getWeakRef(obj)); // true
console.log(weakRef === new WeakRef(obj)); // false
`
- Parameters:
- obj (Object): The object for which you want to get a weak reference.WeakRef
- Returns:
- A instance representing a weak reference to the obj. If a weak reference to the obj was previously created by getWeakRef, it returns the same WeakRef` instance.
