Toad Cache

NPM Version NPM Downloads Coverage Status

Least-Recently-Used and First-In-First-Out caches for Client or Server.

Getting started

import { Lru, Fifo } from 'toad-cache'
const lruCache = new Lru(max, ttl = 0)
const fifoCache = new Fifo(max, ttl = 0)

clear

Method

Clears the contents of the cache

Example

cache.clear()

delete

Method

Removes item from cache

param  {String} key Item key

Example

cache.delete('myKey')

deleteMany

Method

Removes items from cache

param  {String[]} keys Item keys

Example

cache.deleteMany(['myKey', 'myKey2'])

evict

Method

Evicts the least recently used item from cache

Example

cache.evict()

expiresAt

Method

Gets expiration time for cached item

param  {String} key Item key
return {Mixed}      Undefined or number (epoch time)

Example

const item = cache.expiresAt('myKey')

first

Property

Item in "first" or "bottom" position

Example

const cache = new Lru()

cache.first // null - it's a new cache!

get

Method

Gets cached item and marks it as recently used (pushes to the back of the list of the candidates for the eviction)

param  {String} key Item key
return {Mixed}      Undefined or Item value

Example

const item = cache.get('myKey')

getMany

Method

Gets multiple cached items and marks them as recently used (pushes to the back of the list of the candidates for the eviction)

param  {String[]} keys Item keys
return {Mixed[]}      Undefined or Item values

Example

const item = cache.getMany(['myKey', 'myKey2'])

keys

Method

Returns an Array of cache item keys.

return {Array} Array of keys

Example

console.log(cache.keys())

max

Property

Max items to hold in cache (1000)

Example

const cache = new Lru(500)

cache.max // 500

last

Property

Item in "last" or "top" position

Example

const cache = new Lru()

cache.last // null - it's a new cache!

set

Method

Sets item in cache as first

param  {String} key   Item key
param  {Mixed}  value Item value

Example

cache.set('myKey', { prop: true })

size

Property

Number of items in cache

Example

const cache = new Lru()

cache.size // 0 - it's a new cache!

ttl

Property

Milliseconds an item will remain in cache; lazy expiration upon next get() of an item

Example

const cache = new Lru()

cache.ttl = 3e4

Hit/miss/expiration tracking

In case you want to gather information on cache hit/miss/expiration ratio, as well as cache size and eviction statistics, you can use LruHitStatistics class:

const sharedRecord = new HitStatisticsRecord() // if you want to use single record object for all of caches, create it manually and pass to each cache

const cache = new LruHitStatistics({
  cacheId: 'some-cache-id',
  globalStatisticsRecord: sharedRecord,
  statisticTtlInHours: 24, // how often to reset statistics. On every rotation previously accumulated data is removed
  max: 1000,
  ttlInMsecs: 0,
})

You can retrieve accumulated statistics from the cache, or from the record directly:

// this is the same
const statistics = sharedRecord.getStatistics()
const alsoStatistics = cache.getStatistics()

/*
{
  'some-cache-id': {
    '2023-04-06': {
      cacheSize: 100, // how many elements does cache currently have
      evictions: 5, // how many elements were evicted due to cache being at max capacity    
      expirations: 0, // how many elements were removed during get due to their ttl being exceeded
      hits: 0, // how many times element was successfully retrieved from cache during get
      emptyHits: 0, // out of all hits, how many were null, undefined or ''?
      falsyHits: 0, // out of all hits, how many were falsy?      
      misses: 1, // how many times element was not in cache or expired during get
      invalidateOne: 1, // how many times element was invalidated individually
      invalidateAll: 2, // how many times entire cache was invalidated
      sets: 0, // how many times new element was added      
    },
  },
}

Note that date here reflects start of the rotation. If statistics weren't rotated yet, and another day started, it will still be counted against the day of the rotation start
