Package Exports

memory-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 (memory-cache) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

node-cache

A simple in-memory cache for node.js

Installation

npm install memory-cache

Usage

var cache = require('memory-cache');

// now just use the cache

cache.put('foo', 'bar');
console.log(cache.get('foo'))

// that wasn't too interesting, here's the good part

cache.put('houdini', 'disapear', 100) // Time in ms
console.log('Houdini will now ' + cache.get('houdini'));

setTimeout(function() {
  console.log('Houdini is ' + cache.get('houdini'));
}, 200);

which should print

bar
Houdini will now disapear
Houdini is null

API

put = function(key, value, time)

Simply stores a value.
If time isn't passed in, it is stored forever.
Will actually remove the value in the specified time (via setTimeout)

get = function(key)

Retreives a value for a given key

del = function(key)

Deletes a key

clear = function()

Deletes all keys

size = function()

Returns the current number of entries in the cache

memsize = function()

Returns the number of entries taking up space in the cache
Will usually == size() unless a setTimeout removal went wrong

debug = function(bool)

Turns on or off debugging

hits = function()

Returns the number of cache hits

misses = function()

Returns the number of cache misses.

TODO

Namespaces
A way of walking the cache for diagnostic purposes
