Installation

Or with yarn:

Usage

Here's how to use @loxjs/cache in your project.

Initializing

First, require and initialize the module:

const Cache = require('@loxjs/cache');

const cache = new Cache({
  redis: {
    // Redis configuration options
  },
  prefix: 'myPrefix', // optional key prefix
  exType: 'EX',       // default expiration type ('EX' for seconds)
  exDuration: 3600    // default expiration duration (in seconds)
});

Setting a Value

To cache a value with an optional expiration:

cache.set('myKey', { my: 'value' }, {
  exType: 'EX',       // 'EX' for seconds, 'PX' for milliseconds
  exDuration: 60      // expiration time in seconds
});

If exType and exDuration are not specified, the defaults provided during initialization will be used.

Getting a Value

To retrieve a value from the cache:

cache.get('myKey').then(value => {
  console.log(value); // outputs: { my: 'value' }
});
