package cache

// 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
//     import "github.com/pmylund/go-cache"
//
//     // 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
