package cache import ( "fmt" "reflect" "runtime" "sync" "time" ) // go-cache is an in-memory key:value store/cache similar to memcached that is suitable for // applications running on a single machine. Any object can be stored, for a given duration // or forever, and the cache can be used safely by multiple goroutines. // // Installation: // goinstall github.com/pmylund/go-cache // // Usage: // // Create a cache with a default expiration time of 5 minutes, and which purges // // expired items every 30 seconds // c := cache.New(5*time.Minute, 30*time.Second) // // // Set the value of the key "foo" to "bar", with the default expiration time // c.Set("foo", "bar", 0) // // // Set the value of the key "baz" to "yes", with no expiration time (the item // // won't be removed until it is re-set, or removed using c.Delete("baz") // c.Set("baz", "yes", -1) // // // Get the string associated with the key "foo" from the cache // foo, found := c.Get("foo") // if found { // fmt.Println(foo) // } // // // Since Go is statically typed, and cache values can be anything, type assertion // // is needed when values are being passed to functions that don't take arbitrary types, // // (i.e. interface{}). The simplest way to do this for values which will only be used // // once--e.g. for passing to another function--is: // foo, found := c.Get("foo") // if found { // MyFunction(foo.(string)) // } // // // This gets tedious if the value is used several times in the same function. You // // might do either of the following instead: // if x, found := c.Get("foo"); found { // foo := x.(string) // ... // } // // or // var foo string // if x, found := c.Get("foo"); found { // foo = x.(string) // } // ... // // foo can then be passed around freely as a string // // // Want performance? Store pointers! // c.Set("foo", &MyStruct, 0) // if x, found := c.Get("foo"); found { // foo := x.(*MyStruct) // ... // } // // If you store a reference type like a pointer, slice, map or channel, you do not need to // run Set if you modify the underlying data. The cache does not serialize its data, so if // you modify a struct whose pointer you've stored in the cache, retrieving that pointer // with Get will point you to the same data: // // foo := &MyStruct{Num: 1} // c.Set("foo", foo, 0) // ... // x, _ := c.Get("foo") // foo := x.(MyStruct) // fmt.Println(foo.Num) // ... // foo.Num++ // ... // x, _ := c.Get("foo") // foo := x.(MyStruct) // foo.Println(foo.Num) // // will print: // 1 // 2 type Cache struct { *cache // If this is confusing, see the comment at the bottom of the New() function } type cache struct { DefaultExpiration time.Duration Items map[string]*Item mu *sync.Mutex janitor *janitor } type Item struct { Object interface{} Expires bool Expiration *time.Time } type janitor struct { Interval time.Duration stop chan bool } // Adds an item to the cache, replacing any existing item.
