ethereal-echo-cache is a lightweight caching library for Node.js, designed to provide efficient in-memory caching with the option to set expiration times for cached items. It is built on top of the popular LRU (Least Recently Used) cache library.
Install ethereal-echo-cache via npm:
npm install ethereal-echo-cache
const EtherealEchoCache = require('ethereal-echo-cache');
// Create a new cache instance
const cache = new EtherealEchoCache();
// Set a value in the cache with optional expiration time
cache.set('key', 'value', 10000); // 'key' will expire in 10 seconds
// Retrieve a value from the cache
const value = cache.get('key'); // Returns 'value' if 'key' is present
// Delete a key from the cache
cache.del('key');
// Clear the entire cache
cache.clear();new EtherealEchoCache([options])Creates a new instance of EtherealEchoCache.
