Cache JS

A cache service for JS.

Usage

To install this package, run the following command:

npm install @pod-point/cache-js

Once installed, simply create a new instance of the Cache service and begin using it e.g.

import { Redis } from '@pod-point/cache-js';

const cacheService = new Redis();

await cacheService.put('foo', 'bar');

There are only 3 simple methods a cache service can carry out, and these are put, get and remove, all fairly self-explanatory!

When putting key/value pairs into the cache you can also set an expiry date, or a time in seconds until it should expire.

Releases

This package is distributed via NPM and published automatically by Travis when creating a tagged commit. This can be done in one of 2 ways:

1. Pre-merge via the CLI

Before merging your PR following code review & QA, run the following commands to update the package version and create a new release/tag.

npm version <major|minor|patch|prerelease>
git push && git push --tags

If you forget to do this before merging, this is not a problem, just create a new branch from master and run these same commands, remembering to open and merge a PR for this branch so that the package.json file is updated, alternatively, see option 2.

2. Post-merge via code & GitHub

After merging your code changes, create a new branch/PR from master and update the package version in package.json to whatever you wish the next release to be.

Before merging this PR, create a release via GitHub with a tag version to match this package version number, this will trigger the tagged commit and in turn the automatic deployment to NPM.
