cache-base

Basic object cache with
get,set,del, andhasmethods for node.js/javascript projects.
Install
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save cache-base
Usage
var Cache = require('cache-base');
// instantiate
var app = new Cache();
// set values
app.set('a', 'b');
app.set('c.d', 'e');
// get values
app.get('a');
//=> 'b'
app.get('c');
//=> {d: 'e'}
console.log(app.cache);
//=> {a: 'b'}
Inherit
var util = require('util');
var Cache = require('cache-base');
function MyApp() {
Cache.call(this);
}
util.inherits(MyApp, Cache);
var app = new MyApp();
app.set('a', 'b');
app.get('a');
//=> 'b'
Namespace
Define a custom property for storing values.
var Cache = require('cache-base').namespace('data');
var app = new Cache();
app.set('a', 'b');
console.log(app.data);
//=> {a: 'b'}
API
namespace
Create a Cache constructor that when instantiated will store values on the given prop.
Params
prop{String}: The property name to use for storing values.returns{Function}: Returns a customCacheconstructor
Example
var Cache = require('cache-base').namespace('data');
var cache = new Cache();
cache.set('foo', 'bar');
//=> {data: {foo: 'bar'}}
Cache
Create a new Cache. Internally the Cache constructor is created using the namespace function, with cache defined as the storage object.
Params
cache{Object}: Optionally pass an object to initialize with.
Example
var app = new Cache();
.set
Assign value to key. Also emits set with the key and value.
Params
key{String}value{any}returns{Object}: Returns the instance for chaining.
Events
emits:setwithkeyandvalueas arguments.
Example
app.on('set', function(key, val) {
// do something when `set` is emitted
});
app.set(key, value);
// also takes an object or array
app.set({name: 'Halle'});
app.set([{foo: 'bar'}, {baz: 'quux'}]);
console.log(app);
//=> {name: 'Halle', foo: 'bar', baz: 'quux'}
.union
Union array to key. Also emits set with the key and value.
Params
key{String}value{any}returns{Object}: Returns the instance for chaining.
Example
app.union('a.b', ['foo']);
app.union('a.b', ['bar']);
console.log(app.get('a'));
//=> {b: ['foo', 'bar']}
.get
Return the value of key. Dot notation may be used to get nested property values.
Params
key{String}: The name of the property to get. Dot-notation may be used.returns{any}: Returns the value ofkey
Events
emits:getwithkeyandvalueas arguments.
Example
app.set('a.b.c', 'd');
app.get('a.b');
//=> {c: 'd'}
app.get(['a', 'b']);
//=> {c: 'd'}
.has
Return true if app has a stored value for key, false only if value is undefined.
Params
key{String}returns{Boolean}
Events
emits:haswithkeyand true or false as arguments.
Example
app.set('foo', 'bar');
app.has('foo');
//=> true
.del
Delete one or more properties from the instance.
Params
key{String|Array}: Property name or array of property names.returns{Object}: Returns the instance for chaining.
Events
emits:delwith thekeyas the only argument.
Example
app.del(); // delete all
// or
app.del('foo');
// or
app.del(['foo', 'bar']);
.clear
Reset the entire cache to an empty object.
Example
app.clear();
.visit
Visit method over the properties in the given object, or map
visit over the object-elements in an array.
Params
method{String}: The name of thebasemethod to call.val{Object|Array}: The object or array to iterate over.returns{Object}: Returns the instance for chaining.
