NIST Misses 2024 Deadline to Clear NVD Backlog
NIST has failed to meet its self-imposed deadline of clearing the NVD's backlog by the end of the fiscal year. Meanwhile, CVE's awaiting analysis have increased by 33% since June.
lru-cache
Advanced tools
The lru-cache package is a JavaScript library that provides a cache object that deletes the least-recently-used items. It is useful for storing a limited amount of data in a way that allows for fast retrieval of entries based on keys.
Creating a cache instance
This code sample demonstrates how to create a new LRU cache instance with a maximum of 500 items and a maximum age of one hour for each item.
{"const LRU = require('lru-cache');
const options = { max: 500, maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 60 };
const cache = new LRU(options);"}
Setting and getting cache items
This code sample shows how to set a value in the cache with a key and then retrieve that value using the same key.
{"const LRU = require('lru-cache');
const cache = new LRU();
cache.set('key', 'value');
const value = cache.get('key');"}
Checking if a key is in the cache
This code sample illustrates how to check if a key is present in the cache without updating the recent-ness or deleting it.
{"const LRU = require('lru-cache');
const cache = new LRU();
cache.set('key', 'value');
const hasKey = cache.has('key');"}
Deleting a key from the cache
This code sample shows how to delete a specific key from the cache.
{"const LRU = require('lru-cache');
const cache = new LRU();
cache.set('key', 'value');
cache.del('key');"}
Resetting the cache
This code sample demonstrates how to completely clear the cache.
{"const LRU = require('lru-cache');
const cache = new LRU();
cache.set('key', 'value');
cache.reset();"}
node-cache is an in-memory cache module for Node.js. It is similar to lru-cache but does not specifically implement the LRU (Least Recently Used) cache algorithm. Instead, it provides a simple caching mechanism with TTL (time to live) support.
cache-manager is a cache module that allows easy switching between different cache stores. It supports a variety of stores (e.g., memory, Redis, MongoDB) and includes LRU cache functionality. It is more flexible than lru-cache in terms of storage options but may be more complex to use.
quick-lru is an LRU cache implementation that is optimized for performance. It claims to be faster than lru-cache for certain use cases, especially when dealing with a large number of items or frequent evictions.
A cache object that deletes the least-recently-used items.
Usage:
var LRU = require("lru-cache")
, cache = LRU(10) // max 10 items. default = Infinity
cache.set("key", "value")
cache.get("key") // "value"
