What are @types/memcached's main functionalities?
Connecting to a Memcached server
This feature allows you to establish a connection to a Memcached server running on localhost at the default port 11211.
const Memcached = require('memcached');
const memcached = new Memcached('localhost:11211');
Setting a value in Memcached
This feature allows you to store a key-value pair in Memcached with an expiration time of 10 seconds.
memcached.set('key', 'value', 10, function (err) { if (err) console.error(err); });
Getting a value from Memcached
This feature allows you to retrieve a value from Memcached using a key.
memcached.get('key', function (err, data) { if (err) console.error(err); else console.log(data); });
Deleting a value from Memcached
This feature allows you to delete a key-value pair from Memcached.
memcached.del('key', function (err) { if (err) console.error(err); });
Flushing all values from Memcached
