simple-kv-cache v2.0.0

LRU Cache

LRU cache implemented with a hashmap and doubly linked list.

Implementation

• Hashmap: Associates keys with doubly linked list nodes.
• Doubly Linked List: Manages entries by access recency.
  • New entries are inserted at the head.
  • When the cache is full, the tail (least recently used) entry is removed.
  • Accessing an entry moves it to the head, updating its recency.

Installation

npm i simple-kv-cache

Usage

import { LRUCache } from "simple-kv-cache"

const cache = new LRUCache({
  maxCapacity: 5000, // default is 1000
})

// store value
cache.set("users", [
  {
    id: 1,
    name: "John Doe",
  },
])

// retrieve value
cache.get("users")

// remove value
cache.remove("users")

// remove all values
cache.clear()

// support for generic types
const routeCache = new LRUCache<"/users" | "/posts">()
