server_cache

Framework-agnostic cache runtime for array, file, Ormed database, Redis, and null-backed stores.

Stores are concrete objects. Reusable construction uses typed options rather than string-keyed configuration maps:

final manager = DataCacheManager()
  ..registerStore('memory', ArrayStore())
  ..registerStoreFactory(
    'redis',
    RedisStoreFactory(),
    const RedisStoreConfiguration(host: '127.0.0.1', port: 6379),
  );

final repository = manager.store('memory');

Ormed database store

OrmCacheStore uses Ormed's codegen-free query builder and accepts an already opened OrmDatabase. It does not choose a database driver, so the same store works with SQLite, Cloudflare D1, and other Ormed adapters. Register its migration with the application's normal database provider before serving requests:

final cache = OrmCacheStore(database);
await database.migrate([cache.migration]);

final manager = DataCacheManager()..registerStore('database', cache);
final repository = manager.store('database');

In a Routed application, pass the same cache.migration entry to RoutedDatabaseProvider with migrateOnBoot: true instead of calling database.migrate directly.

Cache values are JSON encoded. The store does not automatically create or drop tables, and it does not provide distributed locks; use a lock-capable store when a read-modify-write operation must be serialized across workers.

FileStoreConfiguration, RedisStoreConfiguration, ArrayStoreConfiguration, and NullStoreConfiguration are the built-in typed options. Custom adapters implement StoreFactory<T> for their own configuration type.

Depends on server_contracts interim (to be colocated later). Provides CacheStore, ArrayStore, FileStore, RedisStore, NullStore, Repository, TaggedCache etc.

Future: dissolve server_contracts into this package (colocated CacheStore contract).

Using with Routed

server_cache is framework-agnostic and does not initialize a Routed provider. For EngineContext helpers, depend on routed_cache and add RoutedCacheProvider to a slim engine, or import package:routed/routed.dart and use its registered cache provider.
