Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

NestJS-Omacache

Motivation

Nest's cache-manager has limitations and inconveniences(i.e. cache applied for controller only). this problem arises from the fact that @nestjs/cache-manager implements features using interceptor, so its capabilities limited within interceptor's.

This package provides you full capabilities for most caching strategy on server.

It solves:

  1. enables partial caching during Request-Response cycle
  2. set-on-start caching(persistent, and can be refreshed)
  3. can be applied to both controllers and services(Injectable)
  4. key-based cache control. It gives you convenience to set and bust the cache using same key

Cache option type automatically switched by 'kind' option(persistent or temporal)

Usage

Import CacheModule

// root module
import { CacheModule } from 'nestjs-omacache'

@Module({
    // this import enables set-on-start caching
    imports: [CacheModule],
    ...
})
export class AppModule {}

Build your own Cache Decorator with storage

// imported 'Cache' is factory to receive storage that implements ICacheStorage
// in this example, we'll initialize in-memory cache
import { Cache, ICacheStorage } from "nestjs-omacache";

// for example, we can use redis for storage
// What ever your implementation is, it must satisfies ICacheStorage interface.
class RedisStorage implements ICacheStorage {
    get(key: string) {...}
    set(key: string, val: any) {...}
    has(key: string) {...}
    delete(key: string) {...}
}

// Then you can make External Redis Cache!
const ExternalCache = Cache({ storage: new RedisStorage() })

// ...or
// Map implements all the signatures of ICacheStorage
// so you can just pass Map instance
const InMemoryCache = Cache({ storage: new Map() satisfies ICacheStorage });

Use it anywhere

// regardless class is Controller or Injectable, you can use produced cache decorator
@Controller()
class AppController {
    @Get()
    @ExternalCache({
        // persistent cache also needs key to control cache internally
        key: 'some key',
        // persistent cache sets cache automatically on server start
        kind: 'persistent',
        // refresh interval is optional
        // use it if you want cache refreshing
        refreshIntervalSec: 60 * 60 * 3 // 3 hours
    })
    async noParameterMethod() {
        ...
    }

    @Get('/:id')
    @ExternalCache({
        key: 'other key',
        kind: 'temporal',
        ttl: 60 * 10, // 10 mins
        // You have to specify parameter indexes which will be referenced dynamically
        // In this case, cache key will be concatenated string of key, id param, q2 query
        paramIndex: [0, 2]
    })
    async haveParametersMethod(
        @Param('id') id: number,
        // q1 will not affect cache key because paramIndex is specified to refer param index 0 and 2
        @Query('query_1') q1: string,
        @Query('query_2') q2: string
    ) {
        ...
    }
}

Partial Caching

partial caching is particularly useful when an operation combined with cacheable and not cacheable jobs

// let's say SomeService have three methods: taskA, taskB, taskC
// assume that taskA and taskC can be cached, but taskB not
// each of task takes 1 second to complete

// in this scenario, @Nestjs/cache-manager can't handle caching because it's stick with interceptor
// but we can cover this case using partial caching
@Injectable()
class SomeService {

    @InMemoryCache(...)
    taskA() {} // originally takes 1 second

    // not cacheable
    taskB() {} // takes 1 second

    @InMemoryCache(...)
    taskC() {} // originally takes 1 second
}


@Controller()
class SomeController {
    constructor(
        private someService: SomeService
    ) {}

    // this route can take slightest time because taskA and taskC is partially cached
    // execution time can be reduced 3 seconds to 1 second
    @Get()
    route1() {
        someService.taskA(); // takes no time
        someService.taskB(); // still takes 1 second
        someService.taskC(); // takes no time
    }
}

Cache Busting

// we need to set same key to set & unset cache
// keep in mind that cache control by parameters is supported for temporal cache only
@Controller()
class SomeController {
    @Get()
    @InMemoryCache({
        key: 'hello',
        kind: 'persistent',
    })
    getSomethingHeavy() {
        ...
    }

    @Put()
    // in this case, we are busting persistent cache
    // after busting persistent cache, when busting method is done,
    // persistent cached method(getSomethingHeavy in this case) will invoked immediately
    // so you can still get the updated cache from persistent cache route!
    @InMemoryCache({
        key: 'hello',
        kind: 'bust',
    })
    updateSomethingHeavy() {
        ...
    }


    // this route sets cache for key 'some'
    @Get('/some')
    @InMemoryCache({
        key: 'some',
        kind:'temporal',
        ttl: 30,
    })
    getSome() {
        ...
    }

    // and this route will unset cache for key 'some', before the 'some' cache's ttl expires
    @Patch('/some')
    @InMemoryCache({
        key: 'some',
        kind: 'bust',
    })
    updateSome() {
        ...
    }

    // above operation also can handle parameter based cache
    @Get('/:p1/:p2')
    @ExternalCache({
        key: 'some',
        kind:'temporal',
        ttl: 30,
        paramIndex: [0, 1]
    })
    getSomeOther(@Param('p1') p1: string, @Param('p2') p2: string) {
        ...
    }

    // will unset cache of some + p1 + p2
    @Patch('/:p1/:p2')
    @ExternalCache({
        key: 'some',
        kind: 'bust',
        paramIndex: [0, 1]
    })
    updateSomeOther(@Param('p1') p1: string, @Param('p2') p2: string) {
        ...
    }
    
    // if you want to unset all cache based on a key, you can use bustAllChildren option.
    // this will only work for temporal cache.
    @Get('/foo')
    @ExternalCache({
        key: 'foo',
        kind: 'temporal',
        ttl: 30,
    })
    getFoo() {
        ...
    }
    
    @Get('foo/:p1/:p2')
    @ExternalCache({
        key: 'foo',
        kind: 'temporal',
        ttl: 30,
        paramIndex: [0, 1]
    })
    getFooOther(@Param('p1') p1: string, @Param('p2') p2: string) {
        ...
    }
    
    @Patch('/foo')
    @ExternalCache({
        key: 'foo',
        kind: 'bust',
        bustAllChildren: true
    })
    updateFoo() {
        ...
    }
}

Caution

  1. persistent cache must used on method without parameters, otherwise, it will throw error that presents persistent cache cannot applied to method that have parameters.
  2. cache set does not awaited internally for not interrupting business logics. only when integrity matters, it awaits(i.e. 'has' method). If you implemented all ICacheStorage signatures synchronously, you don't have to concern about it.
