Usage 🔧

Initializing the CacheManager

You can initialize the CacheManager with a single store or multiple stores:

import 'package:cache_manager_plus/cache_manager_plus.dart';

void main() async {
  // Single store mode
  await CacheManager.init(store: InMemoryCacheStore());

  // Multiple stores mode
  await CacheManager.init(
    stores: [InMemoryCacheStore()],
  );
}

Adding and Retrieving Cache Items

import 'package:cache_manager/cache_manager.dart';

void main() async {
  final cacheManager = CacheManager.instance;

  // Add a persistent cache item
  await cacheManager.set(
    CacheItem.persistent(
      key: 'user_profile',
      data: {'name': 'John Doe', 'age': 30},
      duration: Duration(days: 7),
    ),
  );

  // Retrieve the cache item
  final item = await cacheManager.get('user_profile');
  if (item != null && item.isValid) {
    print('Cached data: ${item.data}');
  }
}

Invalidating Cache

import 'package:cache_manager/cache_manager.dart';

void main() async {
  final cacheManager = CacheManager.instance;

  // Invalidate a specific cache item
  await cacheManager.invalidateCacheItem('user_profile');

  // Invalidate all cache items
  await cacheManager.invalidateCache();
}
