Node Cache Manager store for Filesystem
Package to cache key-value pairs in JSON files.
Installation
npm install cache-manager-fs-hash
Features
- Saves anything that is
JSON.stringify
-able to disk - Buffers are saved as well (if they reach a certain size they will be stored to separate files)
- Works well with the cluster module
Usage example
Here is an example that demonstrates how to implement the Filesystem cache store.
const {DiskStore} = require('cache-manager-fs-hash');
const diskStore = new DiskStore({
path: 'diskcache', // path for cached files (default: cache)
ttl: 60 * 60 * 1000, // time to life in milliseconds
// (default: never expires)
zip: true, // zip files to save disk space (default: false)
});
(async () => {
await diskStore.set('key', 'value');
console.log(await diskStore.get('key')); // "value"
await diskStore.del('key');
console.log(await diskStore.get('key')); // undefined
await diskStore.set('key', 'value', 1000); // with custom TTL
console.log(await diskStore.ttl('key')); // 999 milliseconds
// delete stored files
await diskStore.reset();
})();
Here is an example that demonstrates how to use the store with the node-cache-manager module.
const cacheManager = require('cache-manager');
const {DiskStore} = require('cache-manager-fs-hash');
const diskCache = cacheManager.createCache(new DiskStore({
path: 'diskcache', // path for cached files
// ... other options
}));
(async () => {
await diskCache.set('key', 'value');
console.log(await diskCache.get('key')); // "value"
console.log(await getUserCached(5)); // {id: 5, name: '...'}
console.log(await getUserCached(5)); // {id: 5, name: '...'}
function getUserCached(userId) {
return diskCache.wrap(userId, function () {
return getUser(userId);
});
}
async function getUser(userId) {
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 100)); // sleep 0.1 seconds
return {id: userId, name: '...' + Math.random()};
}
})();
How it works
The filename is determined by the md5 hash of the key
. (The key
is also saved in the file to detect hash collisions. In this case it will just return a cache miss). Writing is performed with .lock files so that multiple instances of the library (e.g. using the cluster module) do not interfere with one another.
