Memoize functions results using an lru-cache.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm i lru-memoizer --save
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Intro
|
|
|
|
This module uses an [lru-cache](https://github.com/isaacs/node-lru-cache) internally to cache the results of an async function.
|
|
|
|
The `load` function can have N parameters and the last one must be a callback. The callback should be an errback (first parameter is `err`).
|
|
|
|
The `hash` function purpose is generate a custom hash for storing results. It has all the arguments applied to it minus the callback, and must return an string synchronous.
|
|
|
|
The `freeze` option (defaults to **false**) allows you to deep-freeze the result of the async function.
|
|
|
|
The `clone` option (defaults to **false**) allows you to deep-clone the result every time is returned from the cache.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
|
|
var memoizer = require('lru-memoizer');
|
|
|
|
var memoizedGet = memoizer({
|
|
//defines how to load the resource when
|
|
//it is not in the cache.
|
|
load: function (options, callback) {
|
|
request.get(options, callback);
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
//defines how to create a cache key from the params.
|
|
hash: function (options) {
|
|
return options.url + qs.stringify(options.qs);
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
//all other params for the LRU cache.
|
|
max: 100,
|
|
maxAge: 1000 * 60
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
memoizedGet({
|
|
url: 'https://google.com',
|
|
qs: { foo: 123 }
|
|
}, function (err, result, body) {
|
|
//console.log(body);
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Sync lru-memoizer
|
|
|
|
Use `memoizer.sync` to cache things that are slow to calculate or methods returning promises.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
var memoizer = require('lru-memoizer');
|
|
var memoizedGet = memoizer.sync({
|
|
//defines how to load the resource when
|
|
//it is not in the cache.
|
|
load: function (params) {
|
|
//return something_hard_to_compute;s
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
//defines how to create a cache key from the params.
|
|
hash: function (params) {
|
|
return params.foo;
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
//all other params for the LRU cache.
|
|
max: 100,
|
|
maxAge: 1000 * 60
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Similar modules
|
|
|
|
This module is very similar to [async-cache](https://github.com/isaacs/async-cache), the main difference is the `hash` function.
