cache-all

🚀 Fast, simple cache engines for expressJS & native nodeJS (redis, in-memory & file caching).

• Multi cache engines, each engine has one singleton instance and independent with other engine.
• Include express middleware, which can be use for cache response on specific routes.
• Init once and then use anywhere for caching anything in your application.

Install

npm install --save cache-all

or

yarn add cache-all

Usages (single cache engine):

Init

Init cache engine once and then you can use it anywhere, recommend init when booting your application

Example init in your server.js:

const express = require('express')
const cache = require('cache-all') // default is in-memory engine
// or
const cache = require('cache-all/memory') // explicit in-memory engine
// or
const cache = require('cache-all/file') // file engine
// or
const cache = require('cache-all/redis') // redis engine
const app = express()

// if you need to use cache methods immediately after init method, you must await it `await cache.init({...})`
cache.init({
  ttl: 90,
})
// ...

app.listen(...)

Default config: Just config for engine that will be use

• in-memory

{
  ttl: 90,
  isEnable: true, // Flag for enable/disable cache, useful for development
}

• file

{
  ttl: 90,
  isEnable: true,
  file: {
    path: path.join(process.cwd(), 'storage', 'cache') // Storage path for file cache engine
  }
}

• redis

{
  ttl: 90,
  isEnable: true,
  redis: {
    port: 6379,
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    // password: String,
    // database: String,
    // prefix: String, // default is `cacheall:`
    // setex: Function
  }
}

set(key, value, [expireIn])

Set cache:

const cache = require('cache-all')

cache
  .set('foo', 'bar')
  .then(result => console.log(result))

Set cache with specific expire time (second):

const cache = require('cache-all')

cache
  .set('foo', 'bar', 90)
  .then(result => console.log(result)) // {status: 1}

get(key)

Get cache (if key doesn't exist, null will be return):

const cache = require('cache-all')

cache
  .get('foo')
  .then(result => console.log(result)) // 'bar'

getAll()

Get all cached entries as array:

const cache = require('cache-all')

cache
  .getAll()
  .then(result => console.log(result)) // [ { key: 'foo', value: 'bar'},... ]

has(key)

Deprecated: should use cache.get and then check returned value instead use this function because costs of these functions is same.

Check if given key exist:

const cache = require('cache-all')

cache
  .has('foo')
  .then(result => console.log(result)) // true

remove(key)

Remove given cache key:

const cache = require('cache-all')

cache
  .remove('foo')
  .then(result => console.log(result)) // {status: 1}

removeByPattern(pattern)

Remove all cached data base on pattern/text:

const cache = require('cache-all')

await cache.set('user_foo', { name: 'foo' })
await cache.set('user_bar', { name: 'bar' })

await cache.removeByPattern('user') // or removeByPattern(/user/)

middleware([expireIn], [prefix]) (Cache on express route)

This package provide a middleware which will cache your response data base on request fullpath, request method and prefix (optinal).

NOTE: using prefix if you want manual clear data that was cached by middleware (using removeByPattern(prefix) method)

const express = require('express')
const router = express.Router()
const cache = require('cache-all')

router.get('/api/user', cache.middleware(86400, 'user'), function(req, res, next) {
  res.json({foo: 'bar'})
})
// First time request '/foo' will cache response data before send back to client (non-blocking)
// Next time requests '/foo' will be response cached data immediately

Usages (multi engine)

You can use many cache engine together in your application, each engine still has singleton instance of it, that work independent with other

Just require specific engine you need instead require root

• init

const fileCache = require('cache-all/file')
const memoryCache = require('cache-all/memory')

// ...
fileCache.init({
  ttl: 60,
  file: {
    path: path.join(process.cwd(), 'storage', 'cache')
  }
})
memoryCache.init({
  ttl: 60,
})
// ...

app.listen(...)

• set/get/has/remove/middleware

const fileCache = require('cache-all/file')
const memoryCache = require('cache-all/memory')

fileCache
  .set('foo', 'bar', 90)
  .then(result => console.log(result)) // {status: 1}
  
memoryCache
  .set('foo', 'bar', 90)
  .then(result => console.log(result)) // {status: 1}

Typescript

Add @types/express and @type/redis as devDependencies:

yarn add -D @types/express @types/redis

That's it!

Test

npm run test
