Advanced in-memory caching module for JavaScript.
For when you need caching but running Redis would be an overkill.
KV.JS is a fast, in-memory data store written in pure JavaScript, heavily inspired by Redis and Memcached. It is capable of handling multiple data types, including strings, lists, sets, sorted sets, hashes, and geospatial indexes. Additionally, with more than 140 functions, KV.JS supports a vast variety of operations, ranging from SET, GET, EXPIRE, DEL to INCR, DECR, LPUSH, RPUSH, SADD, SREM, HSET, HGET, and many many more.
Installation
- ``` shell
- npm install @heyputer/kv.js
- ```
Usage
- ``` js
- const kvjs = require('@heyputer/kv.js');
- // Create a new kv.js instance
- const kv = new kvjs();
- // Set a key
- kv.set('foo', 'bar');
- // Get the key's value
- kv.get('foo'); // "bar"
- // Delete the key
- kv.del('foo');
- // Set another key
- kv.set('username', 'heyputer');
- // Automatically delete the key after 60 seconds
- kv.expire('username', 60);
- ```
More usage examples
decr
- ``` js
- // Assuming the key 'counter' has been set, decrement the value of the key by 1
- kv.decr('counter');
- ```
decrby
- ``` js
- // Assuming the key 'counter' has been set, decrement the value of the key by 5 (output: -5)
- kv.decrby('counter', 5);
- // Assuming the key 'counter' has been set, decrement the value of the key by -3 (output: 3)
- kv.decrby('counter', -3);
- // Assuming the key 'counter' has been set, decrement the value of the key by 10 (output: -7)
- kv.decrby('counter', 10);
- // Assuming the key 'counter' has been set, decrement the value of the key by 0 (output: 0)
- kv.decrby('counter', 0);
- // Assuming the key 'counter' has been set, decrement the value of the key by -7 (output: 4)
- kv.decrby('counter', -7);
- ```
del Delete specified key(s). If a key does not exist, it is ignored.
- ``` js
- // Delete a single key ("key1"), returns 1 if the key was deleted, 0 if it did not exist or has expired.
- kv.del("key1");
- // Delete multiple keys ("key2" and "key3"), returns the number of keys deleted (0, 1, or 2) depending on which keys existed and were not expired.
- kv.del("key2", "key3");
- // Attempt to delete a non-existent key ("nonExistentKey"), returns 0 since the key does not exist.
- kv.del("nonExistentKey");
- // Attempt to delete an expired key ("expiredKey"), returns 0 if the key has expired.
- kv.del("expiredKey");
- // Delete multiple keys ("key4", "key5", "key6"), returns the number of keys deleted (0 to 3) depending on which keys existed and were not expired.
- kv.del("key4", "key5", "key6");
- ```
exists Check if one or more keys exist.
- ``` js
- // Check if a single key ("key1") exists, returns 1 if the key exists and is not expired, 0 otherwise.
- kv.exists("key1");
- // Check if multiple keys ("key2" and "key3") exist, returns the number of existing keys (0, 1, or 2) that are not expired.
- kv.exists("key2", "key3");
- // Check if a non-existent key ("nonExistentKey") exists, returns 0 since the key does not exist.
- kv.exists("nonExistentKey");
- // Check if an expired key ("expiredKey") exists, returns 0 if the key has expired.
- kv.exists("expiredKey");
- // Check if multiple keys ("key4", "key5", "key6") exist, returns the number of existing keys (0 to 3) that are not expired.
- kv.exists("key4", "key5", "key6");
- ```
