cache-all

library2.1.1jsnpmunverified

A multi-engine caching library for Node.js and Express, providing in-memory, file, and Redis backends with a singleton pattern. Current version 2.1.1 (stable, maintenance mode). Released 2022. Differentiators: unified API across engines, Express middleware for route caching, pattern-based cache invalidation, promise-based async operations. Alternatives like node-cache-manager offer more backends but lack Express integration.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default (in-memory)

✓ import cache from 'cache-all'

✗ const cache = require('cache-all')

Default import works with both ESM and CJS. For explicit engine, import from subpath.

default (file)

✓ import cache from 'cache-all/file'

default (redis)

✓ import cache from 'cache-all/redis'

Requires optional dependency 'redis'.

Initializes default in-memory cache, sets and gets keys with optional TTL, removes a key, and retrieves all entries.

import cache from 'cache-all'; await cache.init({ ttl: 300 }); await cache.set('greeting', 'Hello World'); const greeting = await cache.get('greeting'); console.log(greeting); await cache.set('count', 42, 120); const count = await cache.get('count'); console.log(count); await cache.remove('greeting'); const all = await cache.getAll(); console.log(all);

Known issues

deprecatedcache.has() is deprecated; use cache.get() and check for null.

fix

Replace cache.has(key) with await cache.get(key) !== null

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchacache.init() must be called before any get/set operations or they will fail

fix

Always await cache.init() at startup before using cache

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaMultiple engines cannot coexist due to singleton pattern; calling init with different config overwrites previous instance

fix

Use separate cache instances via the factory pattern or use different libraries for different engines

affects: >=2.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ERR_AVALIABLE_CACHE: cache engine not found

Attempting to use an engine without calling init()

fix

Call cache.init({...}) before any cache operations.

TypeError: cache.set is not a function

Importing wrong module path or not awaiting init

fix

Use correct import path (e.g., 'cache-all/redis') and ensure init is awaited.
