Package Exports
- async-disk-cache
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (async-disk-cache) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

async-disk-cache

An async disk cache. inspired by jgable/cache-swap
A sync sibling version is also available: stefanpenner/sync-disk-cache
By default, this will usge TMPDIR/<username>/
for storage, but this can be changed by setting the $TMPDIR
environment variable.
Example
var Cache = require('async-disk-cache');
var cache = new Cache('my-cache');
// 'my-cache' also serves as the global key for the cache.
// if you have multiple programs with this same `cache-key` they will share the
// same backing store. This by design.
// checking
cache.has('foo').then(function(wasFooFound) {
});
// retrieving (cache hit)
cache.get('foo').then(function(cacheEntry) {
cacheEntry === {
isCached: true,
key: 'foo',
value: 'content of foo'
}
});
// retrieving (cache miss)
cache.get('foo').then(function(cacheEntry) {
cacheEntry === {
isCached: false,
key: 'foo',
value: undefined
}
});
// setting
cache.set('foo', 'content of foo').then(function() {
// foo was set
});
// clearing one entry from the cache
cache.remove('foo').then(function() {
// foo was removed
})
// clearing the whole cache
cache.clear().then(function() {
// cache was cleared
})
Enable compression:
var Cache = require('async-disk-cache');
var cache = new Cache('my-cache', {
compression: 'gzip' | 'deflate' | 'deflateRaw', // basically just what nodes zlib's ships with
supportBuffer: 'true' | 'false' // add support for file caching (default `false`)
})
HELP!...my TMP dir is growing unbounded!
description
In general most OS distributions come with cron like tasks, which purge unused files in $TMPDIR
. For example, ubuntu typically uses tmpreaper
and macOS uses various tasks in /etc/periodic/*
.
options
If your OS distribution does not provide such a cleanup mechanism:
a) We stronglly recommend utilizing one, as other sync-disk-cache is not alone in rely on this behavior
b) If that is not possible, we recommend changing your $TMPDIR
to something project specific and manually purging it.
