p-cache

Decorator to memoize the results of async functions via lru-cache.

Features

• Uses lru-cache for caching impl
• Uses object-hash for implicit cache key derivation from function args
• Thoroughly tested in production

Install

npm install --save p-cache

Usage

const request = require('request-promise-native')
 
const pCache = require('p-cache')({
  label: 'test-service',
  // pass args to lru-cache here
  max: 1000
})
 
// returns an async function which gets the given url, with the results being 
// cached via lru-cache up to 1000 urls
module.exports = pCache(async (url) => {
  return request(url)
})

API

• opts - object, optional
• opts.label - string, optional label to use for displaying cache hits and misses
• opts.log - function, optional function to use for displaying cache hits and misses (default: console.log)

Note all unrecognized options are passed onto lru-cache

• opts.max - number, optional passed onto lru-cache
• opts.maxAge - number, optional passed onto lru-cache
• opts.length - function, optional passed onto lru-cache
• opts.dispose - function, optional passed onto lru-cache
• opts.stale - boolean, optional passed onto lru-cache
• opts.noDisposeOnSet - boolean, optional passed onto lru-cache
