Hit/miss/expiration tracking

In case you want to gather information on cache hit/miss/expiration ratio, you can use LruHitStatistics class:

const sharedRecord = new HitStatisticsRecord() // if you want to use single record object for all of caches, create it manually and pass to each cache

const cache = new LruHitStatistics({
  cacheId: 'some-cache-id',
  globalStatisticsRecord: sharedRecord,
  statisticTtlInHours: 24, // how often to rotate statistics. On every rotation, data, that is older than one day, is removed
  max: 1000,
  ttlInMsecs: 0,
})

You can retrieve accumulated statistics from the cache, or from the record directly:

// this is the same
const statistics = sharedRecord.getStatistics()
const alsoStatistics = cache.getStatistics()

/*
{
  'some-cache-id': {
    '2023-04-06': {
      expirations: 0,
      hits: 0,
      misses: 1,
    },
  },
}

Note that date here reflects start of the rotation. If statistics weren't rotated yet, and another day started, it will still be counted against the day of the rotation start
