punycache v1.0.0

punycache 🦴

A minimalist cache implementation.

Usage

const cache = require('punycache')()

cache.set('key', 'Hello World !')
console.log(cache.get('key')) // Hello World !
console.log(cache.keys()) // [ 'key' ]
console.del('key')
console.log(cache.get('key')) // undefined

Options

const cache = require('punycache')({
  ttl: 200,
  max: 100,
  policy: 'lfu'
})

• ttl : (default: Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY) Time to live in the cache, expressed in milliseconds
• max : (default: Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY) Maximum number of keys to be stored in the cache (see policy for cache replacement policies)
• policy : Cache replacement policy, supported values are
  • 'lru' (default) Least Recently Used (each get / set updates used timestamp)
  • 'lfu' Least Frequently Used (each get / set increments usage frequency)

Implementation notes :

• keys are expected to be strings but no validation is done
• Values are stored and returned as-is
• Keys are removed from the cache ad-hoc (no timeout is being used)
