:star2: Package Details

A Node.js library for caching arbitrary data to disk and restoring cache in between runs. Used by figmarine to cache REST API return values.

• Disk-based memory store
• Configurable store location
• Configurable TTL, cache size and refresh rate
• Allows you to wrap functions for automatic caching

:eyes: Usage

Install the package with the following command:

 pnpm i @figmarine/cache

Then, import makeCache and call it:

import { makeCache, type MakeCacheOptions } from '@figmarine/cache';

const { cache, shutdownGracefully } = makeCache({
  // A relative path creates a subfolder in /tmp/@figmarine/cache.
  location: 'rest',
  // Pass -1 to push the TTL to its limit (one year TTL).
  ttl: -1,
});

You can use the disk cache directly if you want to write into it and handle it manually.

await cache.set('myKey', 'My value');

const value = await cache.get<string>('myKey');
console.log(value); // 'My value'

await cache.delete(key);
const value = await cache.get<string>('myKey');
console.log(value); // 'undefined'

You can also wrap existing functions with .getCache().wrap(). When a wrapped function is called, its return value is cached using the function parameters as a cache key. On the second call with the same parameters, the cached value will be returned instantly and the function body won't need to be called ( provided the cached content hasn't expired).

const queryFoo = (key) => axios.get(`/foo?ID=${key}`);
const cachedQueryFoo = cache.getCache().wrap(queryFoo, { key: 'uniqueKeyForThisFunction' });

console.time('First call');
const first = cachedQueryFoo('1234');
console.timeEnd('First call');
// First call: 1081.284912109375 ms

console.time('Second call');
const second = cachedQueryFoo('1234');
console.timeEnd('Second call');
// Second call: 0.108056640625 ms
