nx-cache

nx-cache

Minimal in-memory cache SDK for Node.js.

No setup. No config. Just use it.

---

Install

npm i nx-cache

---

Usage

import { createNxCache } from "nx-cache";

const cache = createNxCache();

---

Write

cache.write(
  "policy",
  { allow: true },
  {
    scope: { orgId: "acme", env: "prod" },
    metadata: { source: "api" },
  }
);

• Same key + different scope = different entry
• Scope can be null

---

Read

const res = cache.read("policy", { orgId: "acme", env: "prod" });

if (res.found) {
  console.log(res.value);
  console.log(res.metadata);
  console.log(res.meta.savedAt);
}

Without scope:

cache.read("policy"); // equivalent to scope = null

---

Search

const results = cache.search("policy", { orgId: "acme", env: "prod" });

for (const r of results) {
  console.log(r.value, r.metadata);
}

---

Reset

cache.resetKey("policy", { orgId: "acme", env: "prod" });
cache.resetAll();

---

Behavior summary

• Default TTL: 1 year
• Expired entries are treated as not found
• Metadata is user-defined and returned on read/search
• Cache is per-process (memory only)

---

Future extensions (not in v1)

• Redis backend
• Disk persistence
• Stale reads
• Namespaced caches
