fclicache - File-based Simple CLI Cache

fclicache is a command-line utility that caches the output of resource-intensive commands, enabling faster retrieval of results when the same commands are executed repeatedly within a specified Time-to-Live (TTL) period. This tool is designed to enhance efficiency and save time, particularly in development environments where certain commands are run frequently.

Features

  • Efficient Caching: Saves the output of CLI commands, avoiding repeated execution of time-consuming operations.
  • Time-to-Live (TTL): Customizable cache duration to ensure the freshness of the cached data.
  • Simple Usage: Easy to integrate into existing workflows with minimal configuration.

Installation

Before installing fclicache, ensure you have Rust and Cargo installed on your system. If not, follow the installation guide here: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install.

To install fclicache, run the following command:

cargo install fclicache

Usage

To cache the output of a command using fclicache, wrap the desired command as follows:

fclicache --ttl [SECONDS] '[COMMAND]'

The tool caches the output of [COMMAND] for the duration specified by [SECONDS].

Example

# First execution: the 'sleep 10 && date' command will take approximately 10 seconds.
$ fclicache --ttl 3600 'sleep 10 && date'
Sat Feb 10 19:07:49 JST 2024

# Second execution: results are instantly retrieved from cache, showing the same output as the first execution.
$ fclicache --ttl 3600 'sleep 10 && date'
Sat Feb 10 19:07:49 JST 2024

Note

fclicache utilizes a simple file-based caching mechanism. This means that your command's output is written to a file. Therefore, it is advised not to use this tool for commands that produce sensitive or secure output.
