KEEPSAKE

Keepsake of items infinitely or forget them after a number of times.

Example

See also the examples folder.

Installation

npm install keepsake

Usage

Include the module

var keepsake = require('keepsake');

Possible storages

• MemoryStore for using memory storage

NB! For now you can only use the MemoryStore.

Setting up MemoryStore

Possible store options are the following :

• ttl - define a global TTL in milliseconds for each items added, after that time the key will be removed (default to 0 means infinity)
• overwrite - set if you want to update value for a key that already exists (default to false)
• maxCacheSize - set the store size in bytes (default to 10485760 Bytes = 10 MB)

Example :

var MemoryStore = require('keepsake').MemoryStore;
 
// with custom options
var customCache = new MemoryStore({
    ttl: 1000,
    overwrite: true,
    maxCacheSize: 1024
});
 
// with defaults values
var defaultCache = new MemoryStore();

After initialization, you can update TTL, overwrite and maxCacheSize attributes with these methods :

• setTTL - define new global time-to-live (in ms)
• setOverwrite - set if store can update or not the key value
• setMaxCacheSize - define new cache size (in bytes)

Example :

defaultCache.setTTL(5000); // set TTL to 5 seconds
defaultCache.setOverwrite(true); // key can be update
defaultCache.setMaxCacheSize(2048); // set max cache size to 2MB

Available methods

Add item(s) in store

Possible parameters :

• Array - an array of object with 2 attributes : key and value
• Function - callback function

Example :

// add one item
defaultCache.addItems(
    [
        { "key": "one", "value": "oneValue" }
    ],
    function (err) {
        if (err) return console.log(err);
        console.log('Item(s) added');
    }
);
 
// add more than one item
defaultCache.addItems(
    [
        { "key": "one", "value": "oneValue" },
        { "key": "two", "value": "twoValue" },
        { "key": "three", "value": "threeValue" },
        { "key": "four", "value": "fourValue" }
    ],
    function (err) {
        if (err) return console.log(err);
        console.log('Item(s) added');
    }
);

NB! If the size of an element is greater than the available space, the least recently used items will be removed until there is enough space for the new element to add.

Retrieve item(s) from store

Possible parameters :

• Array, String - can be a key or an array of keys
• Function - callback function

Example :

// retrieve value from one item
defaultCache.retrieveItems(
    "one",
    function (err, data) {
        if (err) return console.log(err);
        if (!data) return console.log('Item(s) not found');
        console.log(data);
    }
);
 
// retrieve values from multiple items
defaultCache.retrieveItems(
    [ "one", "two", "three", "four" ],
    function (err, data) {
        if (err) return console.log(err);
        if (!data) return console.log('Item(s) not found');
        console.log(data);
    }
);

Remove item(s) from store

Possible parameters :

• Array, String - can be a key or an array of keys
• Function - callback function

Example :

// retrieve value from one item
defaultCache.removeItems(
    "one",
    function (err) {
        if (err) return console.log(err);
        console.log('Item(s) removed');
    }
);
 
// retrieve values from multiple items
defaultCache.removeItems(
    [ "one", "two", "three", "four" ],
    function (err, data) {
        if (err) return console.log(err);
        console.log('Item(s) removed');
    }
);

Clear store

Possible parameter :

• Function - callback function

Example :

defaultCache.clear(function (err) {
    if (err) return console.log(err);
    console.log('Storage cleared');
});

Retrieve the number of items in store

Example :

console.log(defaultCache.getItemsCount()); // display the number of items in memory store
