|
|
|
||
|
|
> [Memoize](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoization) functions - An optimization used to speed up consecutive function calls by caching the result of calls with identical input
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ npm install --save mem
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const mem = require('mem');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let i = 0;
|
||
|
|
const counter = () => ++i;
|
||
|
|
const memoized = mem(counter);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
memoized('foo');
|
||
|
|
//=> 1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// cached as it's the same arguments
|
||
|
|
memoized('foo');
|
||
|
|
//=> 1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// not cached anymore as the arguments changed
|
||
|
|
memoized('bar');
|
||
|
|
//=> 2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
memoized('bar');
|
||
|
|
//=> 2
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### Works fine with promise returning functions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const mem = require('mem');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
let i = 0;
|
||
|
|
const counter = () => Promise.resolve(++i);
|
||
|
|
const memoized = mem(counter);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
memoized().then(a => {
|
||
|
|
console.log(a);
|
||
|
|
//=> 1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
memoized().then(b => {
|
||
|
|
// the return value didn't increase as it's cached
|
||
|
|
console.log(b);
|
||
|
|
//=> 1
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const mem = require('mem');
|
||
|
|
const got = require('got');
|
||
|
|
const memGot = mem(got, {maxAge: 1000});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
memGot('sindresorhus.com').then(() => {
|
||
|
|
// this call is cached
|
||
|
|
memGot('sindresorhus.com').then(() => {
|
||
|
|
setTimeout(() => {
|
||
|
|
// this call is not cached as the cache has expired
|
||
|
|
memGot('sindresorhus.com').then(() => {});
|
||
|
|
}, 2000);
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|

|
||
|

|

|
|
## API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### mem(fn, [options])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### fn
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Type: `Function`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Function to be memoized.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### maxAge
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Type: `number`<br>
|
||
|
|
Default: `Infinity`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Milliseconds until the cache expires.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### cacheKey
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Type: `Function`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Determines the cache key for storing the result based on the function arguments. By default, if there's only one argument and it's a [primitive](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Primitive), it's used directly as a key, otherwise it's all the function arguments JSON stringified as an array.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You could for example change it to only cache on the first argument `x => JSON.stringify(x)`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### cache
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Type: `Object`<br>
|
||
|
|
Default: `new Map()`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use a different cache storage. Must implement the following methods: `.has(key)`, `.get(key)`, `.set(key, value)`, and optionally `.clear()`. You could for example use a `WeakMap` instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### mem.clear(fn)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Clear all cached data of a memoized function.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### fn
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Type: `Function`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Memoized function.
|
||
|

## Tips
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Cache statistics
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to know how many times your cache had a hit or a miss, you can make use of [stats-map](https://github.com/SamVerschueren/stats-map) as a replacement for the default cache.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const mem = require('mem');
|
||
|
|
const StatsMap = require('stats-map');
|
||
|
|
const got = require('got');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const cache = new StatsMap();
|
||
|
|
const memGot = mem(got, {cache});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
memGot('sindresorhus.com')
|
||
|
|
.then(() => memGot('sindresorhus.com'))
|
||
|
|
.then(() => memGot('sindresorhus.com'));
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
console.log(cache.stats);
|
||
|
|
//=> {hits: 2, misses: 1}
|
||
|
|
