Cacher

Cacher is a simple library to implement application caching in dart inspired by gcache

Features

• Supports expirable Cache, Least Frequently Used, Least recently used, Time aware least recently used.
• Supports eviction.
• Async loading of expired value.
• Automatically load cache if it doesn't exists. (Optional)
• Callback for evicted items to perform cleanup (Optional)

Example

Simple use case

import 'package:cacher/cacher.dart';

void main() {
  Cache c = SimpleCache(storage: SimpleStorage(20));

  c.set("key", 42);
  print(c.get("key")); // 42
  print(c.containsKey("unknown_key")); // false
  print(c.get("unknown_key")); // null
}

Add logic on eviction.

import 'package:cacher/cacher.dart';

void main() {
  Cache c = SimpleCache<Key, Disposable>(
      storage: SimpleStorage(20),
      onEvict: (key, value) {
        value.dispose();
      });
}

Loading function

import 'package:cacher/cacher.dart';

void main() {
  Cache c = SimpleCache<int, int>(
    storage: SimpleStorage(20),
  )..loader = (key, oldValue) => key * 10;

  print(c.get(4)); // 40
  print(c.get(5)); // 50
  print(c.containsKey(6)); // false
}
