cacheman

library2.2.1jsnpmunverified

A small and efficient cache provider for Node.js that supports in-memory, file, Redis, and MongoDB engines. Version 2.2.1 allows flexible configuration with TTL, custom delimiters, and Promise support. It provides a simple unified API (set, get, del, clear) with both callback and Promise interfaces. Unlike single-engine caches, cacheman lets you switch engines without changing application code, making it ideal for development vs production environments.

Code

Verified usage

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

ESM only since v2.0.0

import Cacheman from 'cacheman'

Must use new keyword

const cache = new Cacheman();

When passing engine options as second arg, first arg must be the name

const cache = new Cacheman('myapp', { ttl: 300, engine: 'redis' });

Creates a cache instance with a 60-second TTL, stores and retrieves a user object, then deletes and clears.

import Cacheman from 'cacheman'; const cache = new Cacheman('myapp', { ttl: 60 }); await cache.set('user', { name: 'Alice' }); const user = await cache.get('user'); console.log(user); // { name: 'Alice' } await cache.del('user'); await cache.clear(); console.log('done');

Debug

Known footguns

deprecatedCallback API is deprecated in favor of Promises

gotchaEngine must be installed separately; no runtime dependency

gotchaTLL value accepts human-readable strings (e.g., '1m') but only if you install the 'ms' package
