memcached-mock

A mock implementation of memcached to use as a replacement in tests.

This is currently a work in progresss. This version of the mock supports the following methods:

• add(key, value, ttl, callback)
• append(key, value, callback)
• cachedump(server, slabid, limit, callback)
• cas(key, value, cas, ttl, callback)
• decr(key, amount, callback)
• del(key, callback)
• end()
• flush(callback)
• get(key, callback)
• gets(key, callback)
• getMulti(keys, callback)
• incr(key, amount, callback)
• items(callback)
• prepend(key, value, callback)
• replace(key, value, ttl, callback)
• set(key, value, ttl, callback)
• settings(callback)
• slabs(callback)
• stats(callback)
• version(callback)

Example usage:

var Memcached = require('memcached-mock');

var memcached = new Memcached('localhost:11211');

you can then set values like so:

memcached.set("hello", "world!", 60, function(err) {
  // ...
});

and retrieve those same values:

memcached.get("hello", function(err, data) {
  if (!err)
    console.log(data); // prints: world!
});

Although the interface is the same, no network calls are made. Values are stored in memory and discarded when the process exits.
