go-memoize

There wasn't a decent memoizer for Golang out there, so I lashed two nice libraries together and made one.

Dead-simple. Safe for concurrent use.

Complete. Latest commit timestamp might be old - that's okay.

Go-memoize has been in production for a few years, and has yet to burn the house down.

Usage

Cache expensive function calls in memory, with a configurable timeout and purge interval:

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/kofalt/go-memoize"
)

// Any expensive call that you wish to cache
expensive := func() (interface{}, error) {
	time.Sleep(3 * time.Second)
	return "some data", nil
}

// Cache expensive calls in memory for 90 seconds, purging old entries every 10 minutes.
cache := memoize.NewMemoizer(90*time.Second, 10*time.Minute)

// This will call the expensive func
result, err, cached := cache.Memoize("key1", expensive)

// This will be cached
result, err, cached = cache.Memoize("key1", expensive)

// This uses a new cache key, so expensive is called again
result, err, cached = cache.Memoize("key2", expensive)

In the example above, result is:

  1. the return value from your function if cached is false, or
  2. a previously stored value if cached is true.

All the hard stuff is punted to patrickmn's go-cache and the Go team's x/sync/singleflight, I just lashed them together.

Also note that cache.Storage is exported, so you can use the underlying cache features - such as Flush or SaveFile.

Functions

func Memoize

func Memoize[T any](m *Memoizer, key string, fn func() (T, error)) (T, error, bool)

Memoize executes and returns the results of the given function, unless there was a cached value of the same key. Only one execution is in-flight for a given key at a time. The boolean return value indicates whether v was previously stored.

Types

type Memoizer

type Memoizer struct {
	// Storage exposes the underlying cache of memoized results to manipulate as desired - for example, to Flush().
	Storage *cache.Cache
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Memoizer allows you to memoize function calls. Memoizer is safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines.

func NewMemoizer

func NewMemoizer(defaultExpiration, cleanupInterval time.Duration) *Memoizer

NewMemoizer creates a new Memoizer with the configured expiry and cleanup policies. If desired, use cache.NoExpiration to cache values forever.
