|
|
|
> Simple [“Least Recently Used” (LRU) cache](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_replacement_policies#Least_Recently_Used_.28LRU.29) |
|
|
|
Useful when you need to cache something and limit memory usage. |
|
|
|
Inspired by the [`hashlru` algorithm](https://github.com/dominictarr/hashlru#algorithm), but instead uses [`Map`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Map) to support keys of any type, not just strings, and values can be `undefined`. |
|
|
|
## Install |
|
|
|
``` |
|
$ npm install quick-lru |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Usage |
|
|
|
```js |
|
const QuickLRU = require('quick-lru'); |
|
|
|
const lru = new QuickLRU({maxSize: 1000}); |
|
|
|
lru.set('🦄', '🌈'); |
|
|
|
lru.has('🦄'); |
|
//=> true |
|
|
|
lru.get('🦄'); |
|
//=> '🌈' |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## API |
|
|
|
### new QuickLRU(options?) |
|
|
|
Returns a new instance. |
|
|
|
### options |
|
|
|
Type: `object` |
|
|
|
#### maxSize |
|
|
|
*Required*\ |
|
Type: `number` |
|
|
|
The maximum number of items before evicting the least recently used items. |

#### onEviction |

Type: `(key, value) => void` |
|
|
|

|
|
|
Useful for side effects or for items like object URLs that need explicit cleanup (`revokeObjectURL`). |
|
|
|
### Instance |
|
|
|
The instance is [`iterable`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Iteration_protocols) so you can use it directly in a [`for…of`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/for...of) loop. |
|
|
|
Both `key` and `value` can be of any type. |
|
|

Delete all items. |
|
