sfn-cache v0.1.7

SFN-Cache

Simple Friendly Node.js Cache.

This package relies on Redis, so you must have a Redis server started first.

Install

npm install sfn-cache --save

Import

const Cache = require("sfn-cache");

Example

(async() => {
    var cache = null;
    try {
        var cache = new Cache(),
            data = await cache.set("a", [1, 2, 3], 10000),
            _data = await cache.get("a");
        console.log("Initial data:", data, "\n");
        console.log("Data retrieved from cache:", _data);
    } catch (e) {
        console.log(e);
    }
    
    if(cache)
        cache.close();
})();

API

• new Cache(dsn?: string) Creates a cache channel with a redis URL.

• new Cache(options?: { [x: string]: any })

  • options All available options for redis.createClient().

• cache.set(key: string, value: any, ttl?: number): Promise<any> Stores or updates a value.

  • ttl Time-To-Live (in milliseconds).

• cache.get(key: string): Promise<any> Retrieves a value by a given key.

• cache.delete(key: string): Promise<void> Deletes a key from the cache.
• destroy(): Promise<void> Clears the cache entirely, the cache will be closed after calling this method.
• close(): void Closes the cache channel, if you don't close the channel, the program will hang until the redis server closes the connection.
• cache.connected If the channel is open, it will be true.
• cache.closed Opposite to connected.

new Cache()

// Simplest way:
var cache = new Cache();

// Pass a redis URL:
var cache = new Cache("redis://127.0.0.1:6379");

// Pass an object:
var cache = new Cache({
    host: "127.0.0.1",
    port: 6379,
    password: "my-p@ssw0rd",
    database: 1,
    prefix: "my-cache:"
});

// Pass a redis client:
const redis = require("redis");
var client = redis.createClient();
var cache = new Cache(client);
