Types

type Cache

type Cache struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Cache represents an in-memory Most Recently Used cache that is safe to use for concurrent writes from multiple goroutines.

func New

func New(size int) (*Cache, error)

New creates and returns a MRU (Most Recently Used) cache with a maximum size specified in bytes. The cache size must be a number greater than 0, otherwise en error will be returned.

func (*Cache) Clr

func (c *Cache) Clr()

Clr removes and clears every item from the cache, and resets its size.

func (*Cache) Del

func (c *Cache) Del(key string) []byte

Del deletes a key from the cache. If the value existed in the cache then the value is returned, otherwise a nil byte slice is returned.

func (*Cache) Get

func (c *Cache) Get(key string) []byte

Get looks up a key's value in the cache. If the value exists in the cache then the value is returned, otherwise a nil byte slice is returned.

func (*Cache) Has

func (c *Cache) Has(key string) bool

Has checks to see if the key exists in the cache, returning a true if it exists and false if not.

func (*Cache) Put

func (c *Cache) Put(key string, val []byte) []byte

Put puts a new item into the cache using the specified key. If the size of the cache will rise above the allowed cache size, the oldest items will be removed.
