nestjs-cache v1.0.2

nestjs-cache

Flexible cache module for NestJS.

motivation

Nest is a very flexible framework, but there is a problem in the cache solution that Nest gives us: nest gives us the option to inject only one cache instance called CACHE_MANAGER, but what if we want multiple caches with diffrent configurations per cache? or just make the caches SRP.

Installation

npm i nestjs-cache

API

import { CacheModule } from 'nestjs-cache'

@Module({
  imports: [
        CacheModule.register([{
            cacheName: "USERS_CACHE"
            ttl: 30,
            max: 100
        },
        {
            cacheName: "ENTITIES_CACHE"
        }]),
    ],
})
export class ExampleModule {}

Or in different modules:

import { CacheModule } from 'nestjs-cache'

@Module({
  imports: [
        CacheModule.register([{
            cacheName: "USERS_CACHE"
            ttl: 30,
            max: 100
        }
    ],
})
export class UsersModule

@Module({
  imports: [
        CacheModule.register([{
            cacheName: "ENTITIES_CACHE"
            ttl: 30,
        }
    ],
})
export class EntitiesModule

You can use also registerAsync:

CacheModule.registerAsync([{
  cacheName: "ASYNC_CACHE_EXAMPLE"
  imports: [ConfigModule],
  useFactory: async (configService: ConfigService) => ({
    ttl: configService.get('CACHE_TTL'),
  }),
  inject: [ConfigService],
}]);

And then to inject the cache:

constructor(@Inject("YOUR_CACHE_NAME") private cacheManager: Cache) {}

default behaviors

Empty call to register:

CacheModule.register();

will inject CACHE_DEFAULT_NAME

\ \ The default config for every cache is exactlly like original cache module of Nest:

{
    ttl: 5,
    max: 100,
    store: 'memory'
}
