Installing
npm install cached-prisma
Documentation
Documentation and more detailed examples are hosted on Github Pages.
Usage
client.user.create({ data: { name: "Joel" } });
// This populates the cache
client.user.findFirst({ where: { name: "Joel" } });
// This is retrieved from the cache
client.user.findFirst({ where: { name: "Joel" } });
To control the object used for cache storage you can extend the Prisma class:
import { LruCache } from "cached-prisma";
class CustomPrisma extends Prisma {
static override cacheFactory = () => new LruCache(100);
}
To implement the cache we need to divert the prisma client's internals so that we can return cached values without hitting the database. To do this we can use a singleton instance for the client and cache objects.
import { Prisma } from "cached-prisma";
const client1 = new Prisma().client;
const client2 = new Prisma().client;
client1 === client2;
import { Prisma } from "cached-prisma";
const cache1 = new Prisma().cache;
const cache2 = new Prisma().cache;
cache1 === cache2;
Minimal example
Create a prisma schema.
datasource db {
url = env("DATABASE_URL")
provider = "postgresql"
}
generator client {
provider = "prisma-client-js"
}
model User {
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
name String
}
Create a database. In this example we create a postgres container. You can switch the db, user and password for your environment.
docker run --rm -d \
-p 5432:5432 \
-e POSTGRES_DB=db \
-e POSTGRES_USER=user \
-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password \
postgres
Define the DATABASE_URL environment variable mentioned in our prisma schema.
export DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/db
Generate the types for your client.
npx prisma generate
Migrate the database.
npx prisma migrate dev
Now we can create our client:
import { Prisma } from "cached-prisma";
const client = new Prisma().client;
client.user.create({ data: { name: "Joel" } });
Discussion
The default cache is a fixed size queue that pops values as it surpasses its maximum length.
import LruMap from "collections/lru-map";
new LruCache(100);
Memcached support is provided out of the box:
import { Memcached } from "cached-prisma";
class CustomPrisma extends Prisma {
static override cacheFactory = () => new Memcached("127.0.0.1", 11211, 10);
}
Also Redis support is provided out of the box:
import { Redis } from "cached-prisma";
class CustomPrisma extends Prisma {
static override cacheFactory = () => new Redis("127.0.0.1", 6379, 10);
}
The third constructor parameter each time is the storage lifetime of each write in seconds.
Caches implement safe read and write methods:
export interface Cache {
read: (key: string) => Promise<Maybe<string>>;
write: (key: string, value: string) => Promise<void>;
flush: () => Promise<void>;
}
We cache the following methods which do not mutate state:
- findUnique
- findMany
- findFirst
- queryRaw
- aggregate
- count
After any of the following state mutating methods we flush the cache:
- create
- createMany
- delete
- deleteMany
- executeRaw
- update
- updateMany
- upsert
