MuntahaCache Module Documentation

The MuntahaCache class module provides a comprehensive caching solution for web applications. It supports caching in various storage types (localStorage, sessionStorage, or Cache Storage), automatic expiration, Least Recently Used (LRU) eviction strategy, and array field management for more complex cache manipulations.

CachedEntry<T>

• Generic Type: <T>
• Fields:
  • value: T: The data being cached.
  • expiration: number: Timestamp of when the entry expires.
  • accessedAt: number: Last access timestamp for LRU strategy.

MuntahaCache Class

Properties

• accessCount: A Map<string, number> used for tracking access frequency, aiding in auto-caching functionality.

setLocal<T>(key: CacheKey, value: T, expiration: number): void

• Description: Stores data in localStorage.
• Parameters:
  • key: Unique identifier for the data.
  • value: Data to cache.
  • expiration: Expiration time in milliseconds.

setSession<T>(key: CacheKey, value: T, expiration: number): void

• Description: Stores data in sessionStorage.
• Parameters:
  • key: Unique identifier for the data.
  • value: Data to cache.
  • expiration: Expiration time in milliseconds.

setCache<T>(url: string, value: T, expiration: number): Promise<void>

• Description: Stores data in Cache Storage.
• Parameters:
  • url: URL associated with the data.
  • value: Data to cache.
  • expiration: Expiration time in milliseconds.

set<T>(key: CacheKey, url: string, value: T, options: CacheOptions = {}): Promise<void>

• Description: Caches data with the specified key, URL, and options.
• Parameters:
  • key: Unique identifier for the data.
  • url: URL for the cached data.
  • value: Data to cache.
  • options: Optional caching options such as TTL, auto-cache, and storage type.

delete(url: string): Promise<void>

• Description: Deletes a cached entry by its URL.
• Parameters: url - The URL of the cached entry to delete.

clearAll(): Promise<void>

• Description: Clears all cached data across storage types.

applyLRU(cache: Cache): Promise<void>

• Description: Manages cache size by evicting entries based on the Least Recently Used (LRU) strategy.
• Parameters: cache - Cache object for LRU eviction.

convertImageToBlob(imageUrl: string): Promise<Blob>

• Description: Converts an image URL or file to a Blob for caching.
• Parameters: imageUrl - The URL of the image.
• Returns: A promise that resolves to a Blob representing the image.

setMedia(url: string, imageUrl: string, ttl: number = DEFAULT_TTL): Promise<void>

• Description: Caches an image by converting it to a Blob and storing it.
• Parameters:
  • url: URL associated with the cached image.
  • imageUrl: The URL of the image.

  • newValue: The new array to replace the existing one.
• Returns: A promise that resolves once the array is updated.

deleteFromArray<T>(key: CacheKey, field: string, value: T): Promise<void>

• Description: Deletes an element from an array field inside the cached data.
• Parameters:
  • key: The unique identifier for the cached data.

Usage Example

import { muntahaCache } from "muntahaCache";

// 1. Cache a JSON object with a custom TTL (Time to Live)
await muntahaCache.set(
  "myKey",
  "https://example.com/data",
  { myData: "value" },
  { ttl: 60000 } // TTL in milliseconds (e.g., 60 seconds)
);

// 2. Retrieve the cached JSON object
const cachedData = await muntahaCache.get(
  "myKey",
  "https://example.com/data",
  "local" // Optional: Specify "local" for localStorage or "session" for sessionStorage
);

// 3. Cache an image from a URL as a Blob
await muntahaCache.setMedia("imageKey", "https://example.com/image.png");

// 4. Retrieve the cached image Blob
const cachedImageBlob = await muntahaCache.getMedia("imageKey");

// 5. Check if a specific cache key exists
const isCached = await muntahaCache.has("myKey", "https://example.com/data");

// 6. Remove an item from the cache
await muntahaCache.remove("myKey", "https://example.com/data");

// 7. Clear all cached items from local storage
await muntahaCache.clear("local");

// 8. Clear all cached items from session storage
await muntahaCache.clear("session");

// 9. Update an array field in the cache
await muntahaCache.updateArrayField("myKey", "myArrayField", [1, 2, 3]);

// 10. Delete an element from an array field in the cache
await muntahaCache.deleteFromArray("myKey", "myArrayField", 2);

// 11. // Deletes by key;
await cacheManager.deleteByKey("", "/api/data", "cache");
