Install and Usage

Install the package with:

go get github.com/koding/cache

Import it with:

import "github.com/koding/cache"

Example

// create a cache with 2 second TTL
cache := NewMemoryWithTTL(2 * time.Second)
// start garbage collection for expired keys
cache.StartGC(time.Millisecond * 10)
// set item
err := cache.Set("test_key", "test_data")
// get item
data, err := cache.Get("test_key")

Supported caching algorithms:

• MemoryNoTS : provides a non-thread safe in-memory caching system
• Memory : provides a thread safe in-memory caching system, built on top of MemoryNoTS cache
• LRUNoTS : provides a non-thread safe, fixed size in-memory caching system, built on top of MemoryNoTS cache
• LRU : provides a thread safe, fixed size in-memory caching system, built on top of LRUNoTS cache
• MemoryTTL : provides a thread safe, expiring in-memory caching system, built on top of MemoryNoTS cache
• ShardedNoTS : provides a non-thread safe sharded cache system, built on top of a cache interface
• ShardedTTL : provides a thread safe, expiring in-memory sharded cache system, built on top of ShardedNoTS over MemoryNoTS
• LFUNoTS : provides a non-thread safe, fixed size in-memory caching system, built on top of MemoryNoTS cache
• LFU : provides a thread safe, fixed size in-memory caching system, built on top of LFUNoTS cache
