Readthrough

API: readthrough(entity, identifier, ttl, callback)

Where entity is the name of the entity to get. identifier is an object that identifies the specific entity. entity and identifier is used to create the cache key.

ttl is the time-to-live value for the entry. callback will be executed on cache misses. Your DB (or whatever) calls goes here.

Cache.readthrough('customer', { id: 1 }, 3600, function() {
  return Promise.resolve({
    name: 'Test',
    email: '[email protected]'
  });
}).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data); // Actual data, from cache or from your callback
});
