asyncmemo

Memoize asynchronous function calls. Combine multiple calls with the same argument so that the underlying function is only called once for that argument. Optionally cache the result for that argument.

Install

npm install --save asyncmemo

Example

var asyncMemo = require('asyncmemo')
var xhr = require('xhr')
var get = asyncMemo(function (base, path, cb) {
  xhr.get(base + path, cb)
}, 'http://localhost')
get('/foo', function (err, resp) {
  console.log(err, resp)
})

API

asyncMemo([opts,] fn, [args...]): memo

• opts.cache: cache object, or false to disable cache
• fn([args...], arg, cb(err, result)): the asyncronous function to memoize
• args: arguments to prepend to each call to fn
• memo(arg, cb(err, result)): memoized asynchronous function

A custom cache object can be passed using the cache option. This should have has, get, and set methods.
