I'm sorry, I don't understand what this example is trying to do, or how the code is working, without some greater context. Could you please try to explain:

  1. What is the goal of this section
  2. What are the relevant portions of the API shown in the example and any concepts needed to understand them (i.e., this is the first time we're seeing CacheManager, so we need some context to understand how it works).

Thank you.

This section adds simple example how to use cache (e.g. Redis cache) in the code. The current documention is nice but does not include any example or docs about how to simply set "values" by "keys" in Redis cache and get it.

Like for e.g

Yii framework's docs

// try retrieving $data from cache
$data = $cache->get($key);

if ($data === false) {
    // $data is not found in cache, calculate it from scratch
    $data = $this->calculateSomething();

    // store $data in cache so that it can be retrieved next time
    $cache->set($key, $data);
}

// $data is available here

Laravel's Docs

Cache::put('key', 'value', $seconds);

$value = Cache::get('key');

CacheManager provide generic API regardless of what is used to store cache e.g. Redis, MySQL, file etc.

Feel free to let me know if more info needed

First install the type dependency:

```bash
$ npm install --save-dev @types/cache-manager
```

```typescript
// AppService.ts
import { Injectable, Inject, CACHE_MANAGER } from '@nestjs/common';
import { Cache } from 'cache-manager';

@Injectable()
export class AppService {
constructor(@Inject(CACHE_MANAGER) private cacheManager: Cache) {
}

async getHello(): Promise<string> {
// callback way
this.cacheManager.set('foo', 'bar', {ttl: 100000}, (err) => {
this.cacheManager.get('foo', (errGet, result) => {
console.log(result); // logs "bar"
});
});

// async/await way
await this.cacheManager.set('foo2', 'bar2', {ttl: 100000});

It might be a good practice to wrap this in a try/catch block.

Agree. Just for docs it is kept like this and trying to keep minimal. I checked other part of docs, not at all place await statement are in try-catch blocks. E.g. https://docs.nestjs.com/pipes#class-validator

Alright, makes sense.

const res = await this.cacheManager.get('foo2');
console.log(res); // logs "bar2"

return 'Hello World!';
}
}
```

#### Adjust tracking

By default, Nest uses the request URL (in an HTTP app) or cache key (in websockets and microservices apps, set through the `@CacheKey()` decorator) to associate cache records with your endpoints. Nevertheless, sometimes you might want to set up tracking based on different factors, for example, using HTTP headers (e.g. `Authorization` to properly identify `profile` endpoints).
