**Params**

* `key` **{String}**: The key of the value to cache.
* `value` **{any}**: The value to cache.
* `returns` **{Object}**: Returns the `Cache` object for chaining.

**Example**

```js

```

### [.get](index.js#L65)

Gets the cached value for `key`.

**Params**

* `key` **{String}**: The key of the value to get.

### [.has](index.js#L82)

Checks if a cached value for `key` exists.

**Params**

* `key` **{String}**: The key of the entry to check.
* `returns` **{Boolean}**: Returns `true` if an entry for `key` exists, else `false`.

**Example**
