eurekache

eurekache is cache library, implementing multiple cache source and fallback system.

Supported Cache Type

• on memory
  • max size
  • expire ttl
• Redis

Installation

Install eurekache and required packages using go get command:

$ go get github.com/evalphobia/eurekache

Usage

caches

Memory cache

// create on-memory cache
maxCacheItemSize := 100 // max allocated caches
expiredTTL := 5 * 60 * 1000 // 5 minutes (millisecond)

mc := memorycache.NewCacheTTL(maxCacheItemSize)
mc.SetTTL(expiredTTL)

cache := eurekache.New()
cache.SetCacheSources([]cache{mc})

Redis cache

import redigo "github.com/garyburd/redigo/redis"

// create redis cache
redisHost := "127.0.0.1:6379"
expiredTTL := 5 * 60 * 1000 // 5 minutes (millisecond)
keyPrefix := "myapp:" // added key prefix before set on redis
dbNumber := 1 // redis db number

pool := &redigo.Pool{
    Dial: func() (redigo.Conn, error) {
        return redigo.Dial("tcp", redisHost)
    },
}

rc := rediscache.NewRedisCache(pool)
rc.SetTTL(expiredTTL)
rc.SetPrefix(keyPrefix)
rc.Select(dbNumber)

cache := eurekache.New()
cache.SetCacheSources([]cache{rc})

Multiple cache

// search cache using from 1st cache to last cache by index order
cacheSources := []cache{mc, rc}

cache := eurekache.New()
cache.SetCacheSources(cacheSources)

Set data

cache := eurekache.New()
cache.SetCacheSources([]cache{mc, rc})


// save data to all of caches with default TTL
// when TTL=0, cache is not expired
cache.Set("key", "value")

// save data and cache lives on 24 hours
cache.SetExpire("key", "value", 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)

Eurekache uses encoding/gob internally, you register your own types before use it.

type MyType struct {
    Data interface{}
}

func init() {
    gob.Register(&MyType{})
}

Get data

cache := eurekache.New()
cache.SetCacheSources([]cache{mc, rc})

var ok bool // is cache existed or not

// pass pointer value; type must be equal
var stringValue string
ok = cache.Get("key", &stringValue)

// return interface value
var result interface{}
result, ok = cache.GetInterface("key")
stringValue, ok = result.(string)

// return []byte encoded by gob
var b []byte
b, ok := cache.GetGobBytes("key")
dec := gob.NewDecoder(bytes.NewBuffer(b))
err = dec.Decode(&stringValue)
