Usage

API Documentation.

let fetches = 0
const cachely = require('cachely').create({
    // The method that will fetch the data
    retrieve () {
        return new Promise(function (resolve) {
            // after a one second delay, return the number of fetches that we have done
            setTimeout(() => resolve(++fetches), 1000)
        })
    },

    // An optional duration in milliseconds that our cache of the data will be valid for
    // When expired, on the next request of the data, we will use the method to get the latest data
    // Defaults to one day
    duration: 2000,  // in this example we set it to two seconds

    // An optional function that receives debugging log messages
    // Defaults to nothing
    log: console.log
})

// do an initial fetch of the dat
cachely.resolve().catch(console.error).then(console.log.bind(console, 'after one second as specified in our method, the result data should still be 1:'))

// do a subsequent fetch of the data that will be from the cach
cachely.resolve().catch(console.error).then(console.log.bind(console, 'after a tiny delay this will be from cache, the result data should still be 1:'))

// wait for the cache to invalidate itself
setTimeout(function () {
    // do an second fetch of the data
    cachely.resolve().catch(console.error).then(console.log.bind(console, 'after one second as specified in our method, the result data should be 2, as it was our second fetch:'))

    // do a subsequent fetch of the data that will be from the cache
    cachely.resolve().catch(console.error).then(console.log.bind(console, 'after a tiny delay this will be from cache, the result data should still be 2:'))

    // peform a manual invalidation
    cachely.invalidate()

    // do a third fetch of the data
    cachely.resolve().catch(console.error).then(console.log.bind(console, 'after one second as specified in our method, the result data should be 3, as it was our third fetch:'))

    // do a subsequent fetch of the data that will be from the cache
    cachely.resolve().catch(console.error).then(console.log.bind(console, 'after a tiny delay this will be from cache, the result data should still be 3:'))
}, 3000)
