Oh! Cache [WIP]

This is a simple NodeJS library to enable data caching in your project.

Example

const oc = require('oh-cache');
const { PERSIST_DATA_TTL, LIVE_DATA_TTL } = oc;

function getData(key) {
  if(oc.hasVaidCache(key))
    return oc.getCache(key);
  getDataFromDB(function(results) {
    oc.updateCache(key, results, PERSIST_DATA_TTL);
    return oc.getCache(key);
  });
}

Install

npm install oh-cache --save

Features

• Lightweight
• Simple key/value mapping to handle your variables cache
• TTL (Time To Live) can be configurated by users

Cache entry structure

{
    timestamp: 123092384,
    ttl: LIVE_DATA_TTL,
    data: Object
}

API

• hasCache(key): To check whether cache with key key exists
• hasVaidCache(key): To check whether cache with key key, which is not expired yet, exists
• getCache(key): Get data from cache entry with key key
• updateCache(key, data, ttl): Add/Update cache entry if it is expired (ttl to specify the Time To Live of the entry)
• forceUpdateCache(key, data, ttl): Add/Update cache entry even it may not expired (ttl to specify the Time To Live of the entry)
• deleteCache(key): Delete cache entry with key key

Default TTLs

• PERSIST_DATA_TTL: 3600 seconds
• LIVE_DATA_TTL: 5 seconds

TODO

• Determine TTL automatically
