🌟 Features

Core Capabilities

• Lightning-Fast CRUD
  Atomic operations with O(1) complexity
• Hybrid Expiration
  TTL + idle timeout + manual expiration
• Dependency Graph
  Automatic cascade invalidation

  cache.set('order:123', data, {
    dependsOn: 'user:45',
  });

• Namespace Isolation
  Logical separation without multiple instances

  const userCache = cache.namespace('users');

Advanced Features

• CacheTools Suite

  • BatchOps: Bulk insert/update/delete
  • Functional: Map/filter/reduce pipelines
  • FileOps: Disk persistence & hydration

  // Batch insert 1K items
  cache.cacheTools.batchOps.setBatch(massiveDataset);
  
  // Save to disk
  await cache.cacheTools.fileOps.export('backup.json');

• Event System

  cache.on(EventType.Expire, ({ key }) => {
    console.log(`Expired: ${key}`);
  });

• Adaptive Memory Management
  Automatic scaling with heap pressure detection

📦 Installation

npm install @medishn/qiks
# or
yarn add @medishn/qiks

🛠 Usage

Basic Setup

import { Qiks } from '@medishn/qiks';

interface UserProfile {
  id: string;
  name: string;
}

// Create a cache instance with custom configuration
const cache = new Qiks<string, UserProfile>({
  maxSize: 10000, // Maximum number of items
  evictionPolicy: 'LRU', // Eviction strategy
  storage: 'map', // Use native Map for storage
});

// Set a cache entry with a TTL (in milliseconds)
cache.set('user:123', { id: '123', name: 'Alice' }, { ttl: 60000 });

// Retrieve the cache entry
const user = cache.get('user:123');
console.log(user); // Outputs: { id: '123', name: 'Alice' }

// Use namespaces to isolate cache entries
const userCache = cache.namespace('users');
userCache.set('456', { id: '456', name: 'Bob' });
console.log(userCache.get('456')); // Outputs: { id: '456', name: 'Bob' }

Performance Overview

QIKS outperforms popular alternatives in key metrics:

| Operation | QIKS v2.1 | Competitor A | Competitor B | Improvement | | ---------- | --------- | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | | SET | 0.02µs | 0.15µs | 0.12µs | 6-7x faster | | GET | 0.01µs | 0.08µs | 0.06µs | 6-8x faster | | DELETE | 0.01µs | 0.10µs | 0.08µs | 8-10x faster |

NOTE: Eviction timing is slightly higher due to TTL overhead but remains within acceptable limits
