plain-cache

Plain-simple, in-memory, tiny-in-size (less than 500 bytes when minified + gzipped) cache library, runs on both browser and NodeJS environments.

Install

npm i --save plain-cache

Samples

const cache = require('plain-cache')

or

import cache from 'plain-cache'

// Set cache with key = `foo`, value = `bar`, expired in 3 seconds
cache.set('foo', 'bar', 3000)

// Get back cache with key `foo`
cache.get('foo') // === 'bar'

// get() accepts default value and ttl
cache.get('foo', 'bar') // if cache with key = `foo` not found, set it to `bar`

// get() also accepts ttl
cache.get('foo', 'bar', 3000)

// Delete cache with key `foo`
cache.del('foo')

// Clear cache (everything is removed)
cache.clear()

plain-cache has some convenient timing TTL constants.
