## TTLCache - an in-memory cache with expiration
|
|
|
|
TTLCache is a simple key/value cache in golang with the following functions:
|
|
|
|
1. Thread-safe
|
|
2. Individual expiring time or global expiring time, you can choose
|
|
3. Auto-Extending expiration on `Get` -or- DNS style TTL, see `SkipTtlExtensionOnHit(bool)`
|
|
4. Fast and memory efficient
|
|
5. Can trigger callback on key expiration
|
|
6. Cleanup resources by calling `Close()` at end of lifecycle.
|
|
|
|
Note (issue #25): by default, due to historic reasons, the TTL will be reset on each cache hit and you need to explicitly configure the cache to use a TTL that will not get extended.

#### Usage
|
|
```go
|
|
import (
|
|
"time"
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/ReneKroon/ttlcache"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main () {
|
|
newItemCallback := func(key string, value interface{}) {
|
|
fmt.Printf("New key(%s) added\n", key)
|
|
}
|
|
checkExpirationCallback := func(key string, value interface{}) bool {
|
|
if key == "key1" {
|
|
// if the key equals "key1", the value
|
|
// will not be allowed to expire
|
|
return false
|
|
}
|
|
// all other values are allowed to expire
|
|
return true
|
|
}
|
|
expirationCallback := func(key string, value interface{}) {
|
|
fmt.Printf("This key(%s) has expired\n", key)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
cache := ttlcache.NewCache()
|
|
defer cache.Close()
|
|
cache.SetTTL(time.Duration(10 * time.Second))
|
|
cache.SetExpirationCallback(expirationCallback)
|
|
|
|
cache.Set("key", "value")
|
|
cache.SetWithTTL("keyWithTTL", "value", 10 * time.Second)
|
|
|
|
value, exists := cache.Get("key")
|
|
count := cache.Count()
|
|
result := cache.Remove("key")
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### TTLCache - Some design considerations
|
|
|
|
1. The complexity of the current cache is already quite high. Therefore i will not add 'convenience' features like an interface to supply a function to get missing keys.
|
|
2. The locking should be done only in the functions of the Cache struct. Else data races can occur or recursive locks are needed, which are both unwanted.
|
|
3. I prefer correct functionality over fast tests. It's ok for new tests to take seconds to proof something.
|
|
|
|
#### Original Project
|
|
|
|
TTLCache was forked from [wunderlist/ttlcache](https://github.com/wunderlist/ttlcache) to add extra functions not avaiable in the original scope.
|
|
The main differences are:
|
|
|
|
1. A item can store any kind of object, previously, only strings could be saved
|
|
2. Optionally, you can add callbacks too: check if a value should expire, be notified if a value expires, and be notified when new values are added to the cache
|
|
3. The expiration can be either global or per item
|
|
4. Can exist items without expiration time
|
|
5. Expirations and callbacks are realtime. Don't have a pooling time to check anymore, now it's done with a heap.
